Need some help with my Vlookup or a new idee
Hi Jimmy,
I was not able to convert your text back to Excel sheet from my browser, at least for reasonable time. Here is the sample which illustrates the idea
Entire formula to find Reg No is
=INDEX($C$3:$C$10,MATCH(AGGREGATE(14,6,1/($B$3:$B$10=$F$3)/($G$3>$D$3:$D$10)*$D$3:$D$10,1),$D$3:$D$10,0))
Here AGGREGATE find the largest date in Date column for which Name=a
($B$3:$B$10=$F$3)
and date is less than Born
($G$3>$D$3:$D$10)
You may add here more criteria if needed.
MATCH find position of that date in Date column and INDEX returns Reg No for that position.
Please see attached.

Thank you for a good solution but it works only if there are just one dog with the same birthdate as father/mother dog if there are more than one dog with taht birthdate then it returns the first "REG" number and not the actuale regnr of the dog.
this are my formulas now:
=INDEX($B$2:$B$16088;MATCH(AGGREGATE(14;6;1/($A$2:$A$16088=$D2)/($G2>$G$2:$G$16088)*$G$2:$G$16088;1);$G$2:$G$16088;0))
=INDEX($B$2:$B$16088;MATCH(AGGREGATE(14;6;1/($A$2:$A$16088=$F2)/($G2>$G$2:$G$16088)*$G$2:$G$16088;1);$G$2:$G$16088;0))But i have scaled it down a little in the excel sheet that i have uploaded here so you can see my dilemma
Name Reg_Name Reg_Father Father Reg_Mother Mother Born Father one IS00000/00 #NUM! not known #NUM! not known 12.06.1986 mother one IS00 #NUM! not known #NUM! not known 12.06.1987 Father two IS00000/01 IS00000/00 Father one #NUM! not known 24.06.1988 Father two IS0001/12 IS00000/00 Father one #NUM! not known 01.01.2012 Father one IS0002/12 IS00000/00 Father one IS00 mother one 01.01.2012 mother two IS0001/13 IS0001/12 Father two IS00 mother one 01.02.2013 puppy 1 VIH 155 IS0001/12 Father one IS0001/13 mother two 01.04.2015 puppy 2 VIH 156 IS0001/12 Father one IS0001/13 mother two 01.04.2015 puppy 3 VIH 157 IS0001/12 Father one IS0001/13 mother two 01.04.2015 puppy 4 VIH 158 IS0001/12 Father one IS0001/13 mother two 01.04.2015 as you see here it actually picks the reg nr for "Father two" even it is the "father one" who is the criteria
Can i solv this in a way? Else the formula works good much better than what i had before.

Hi Jim,
I din't took into account you have a lot of puppies born at the same date. Adjusted formula is
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(1,INDEX((AGGREGATE(14,6,1/($A$2:$A$11=$D2)/($G2>$G$2:$G$11)*$G$2:$G$11,1)=$G$2:$G$11)*($D2=$A$2:$A$11),0,1),0)), "no match")

Thank you so much that did the trick and helped me a long way towards the final goal of making a familytree ;)
