I think that might be the shortened version of what I want :-)))
I have read up on lookup functions, taken college courses in my area and
written my own formulas, including a vlookup today that worked fine. I get
confused on the differences:
Lookup
Vs.
Hlookup (horizontal)
VLookup (vertical)
Match
Index
They all seem to do basically the same thing. Probably just my warped mind.
Just out of curiosity would now() have also worked in your formula.
Thanks Again

Ok..I'm not exactly sure I'm understanding what you want, Don...but if all
you want is a formula in I1 that will give you whatever is in the row of
column C that where today's date is in column A, this would do that:
=VLOOKUP((TODAY()),A3:C1000,3,FALSE)
