Help getting value to appear

Here is my equation. I am trying to get it to match the columns between two spreadsheets and display a value based on cells matching. It's not giving me an error message and it looks like all the references are correct, but it's not displaying a result.


=IFERROR(INDEX({PVSYST Forecast}, MATCH(1, ([Project Name]@row = {Project Name}) * ([email protected]= {Month}), 0)), "")


This is the sheet the equation is on. Asking it to look at these cells...

Then I am asking it to compare to these columns, find a row that has a matching data within Month and Project Name and then to pull the result where we have a match in the row. The result should pull the PVSYST forcast column

Here is where it's supposed to be displaying.

What am I doing wrong? I am sitting here with CHAT GBT for hours trying to figure it out and have tried it all different ways to work.

    An INDEX/MATCH has a specific format. The formula above is not written in the expected format. The IFERROR is masking the error as you have it written to produce a blank field when errors are encountered.

    Try this

    =INDEX(COLLECT({PVSYST Forecast}, {Project Name},[Project Name]@row,{Month},[email protected]),1)

Hi @Nicole V<\/a> <\/p>

Please try this - presuming you are inserting the formula on rows 13-15 in the Total column of your screenshot:<\/p>

=SUMIFS(Total$2:Total$9, Variable$2:Variable$9, CONTAINS(Variable@row, @cell))<\/p>

Hope this helps!<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]}],"title":"Trending in Formulas and Functions ","subtitle":null,"description":null,"noCheckboxes":true,"containerOptions":[],"discussionOptions":[]}">
