Using nested INDEX/MATCH

I'm trying to nest an INDEX/MATCH to search multiple sheets for a unique Store #. In my test, I'm only trying to search two different sheets but eventually will need to look in 10 different places. I looked at a previous posting and tried to duplicate the same but I'm getting #UNPARASABLE

Here's what I tried:

=IFERROR(INDEX{Hawaii Store Cleaning Supplies Range 1}, MATCH([Column3]7, {Hawaii Store Cleaning Supplies Range 2}, 0)), INDEX({Texas Store Cleaning Supplies Range 1}, MATCH([Column3]7, {Texas Store Cleaning Supplies Range 2}, 0))

And:

=IFERROR(IFERROR(INDEX{Hawaii Store Cleaning Supplies Range 1}, MATCH([Column3]7, {Hawaii Store Cleaning Supplies Range 2}, 0)), INDEX({Texas Store Cleaning Supplies Range 1}, MATCH([Column3]7, {Texas Store Cleaning Supplies Range 2}, 0))

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Robert

    Oh my gosh. I looked at this for over an hour the other day. Thank you so much. Here's my final formula which works great ...

    =IFERROR(IFERROR(INDEX({Hawaii Store Cleaning Supplies Range 1}, MATCH([Column3]7, {Hawaii Store Cleaning Supplies Range 2}, 0)), INDEX({Texas Store Cleaning Supplies Range 1}, MATCH([Column3]7, {Texas Store Cleaning Supplies Range 2}, 0))), "")

    You're the best!

    Amazing formula!! So glad you could get it working. Sometimes it just takes a set of fresh eyes to catch something small like that.

Greetings @brownrobe<\/a>,<\/p>

Here is a possible solution for your formula:<\/p>

=IF(NOT(ISBLANK([Recovery Collected Date]@row)), \"Complete\", IF(AND(ISBLANK([Recovery Collected Date]@row), ISBLANK([Anticipated Collection Date]@row)), \"Incomplete\", IF(AND(NOT(ISBLANK([Anticipated Collection Date]@row)), ISBLANK([Recovery Collected Date]@row)), \"Pending\", \"//www.santa-greenland.com/community/discussion/71733/\")))<\/p>
