I have a spreadsheet with several years and values working down the page. I'm trying to find a formula where I can lookup a date to the data set, but the date is not always going to be in that first row, it could be several rows down. Then I need the corresponding number below it. So, find the date amongst several rows and then return the value that is 1 row below that. Thanks!

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Try @Scott R suggestion. It's simple.

The dates are not always consecutive, and the values are not always directly underneath. The value could be 9 or so rows below it.

This isn't working and I'm not sure if it's because the months and year are not consecutive across the row. Also, it will return the value directly below it, but i'm not sure how to tell it grab a number several rows down. So I am pasting the data in the way that it is actually in the sheet I am trying to use (I was trying to simplify it earlier, thinking it would be transferable).

So you can see the row starts with 2025-01, but partway through it switches to 2024-09. Then, I want to grab the row that says "Shipments" to the left, not the row directly below. So I want the number to show as 737, not 3,105. The reason I want the lookup is to put a whole year in the right order in one row. I hope this helps!

Are the spacing between the rows always the same?

Ok, try this. This assumes your data starts in Column A. If it's not, some adjustments are needed.
Edit: I realized I didn't take into account when there are more rows below.

Can you use XL2BB to post the sample data? There are few things that could cause that. Difficult to diagnose when we can't see what you're doing.
