Thank you for the response! I do not know about the filtering system. I am basically trying to look into a document if in column C there is a date that matches the date (as in YEAR ONLY)then I want that row of info of that cell to go into this document........ -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ray Blake Sent: Monday, May 16, 2005 10:43 AM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: PLEASE HELP-(Excel Formula question) Thank you I can't quite see what you're trying to do here, but you're almost certainly not going to be able to do it with a single formula. I think you'll need a filtering solution. Do you know how to use filtering?

Sent: 16 May 2005 16:00 To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] PLEASE HELP-(Excel Formula question) Thank you I have asked assistance on this question a few times with no help. I do understand that this is difficult to do but I would appreciate any support because I will be able to use this code with multiple processes. I am in a document called "3 yr plan in progress". I am telling it to look into a document called "2nd Requal Sheet.xls" -If it looks in column "C" of "2nd Requal Sheet.xls" and sees that the YEAR listed is the same as ANY of the three YEARS listed on "3 yr plan in progress" on the "Summary" TAB in cells A3, A5 or A7 THEN enter that whole row of information from "2nd Requal Sheet.xls". If it doesn't match that YEAR do nothing. This is what I have so far........... IF('[2nd Requal Sheet.xls]Initial = Qual.'!$C=3DDATE(YEAR(Summary!A3:A5:A7), Thank you, T.
