vlookup in the row below the target row

[AG]

I have the following table.
part start mid end
ABCD plan 01-Jan 01-Feb 01-Mar
actual/projected 01-Jan 05-Feb 05-Mar
EFGH plan 01-Feb 01-Mar 01-Apr
actual/projected 10-Feb 10-Mar 10-Apr

With this vlookup formula, I can lookup the plan date -
=VLOOKUP("ABCD plan",A25,2,FALSE)
but I really want to capture the actual/projected date in the row below the
plan row. How do I do this?

Try this:

=INDEX(B2:B5,MATCH("ABCD plan",A2:A5,0)+1)

To get the other dates change B2:B5 to C2:C5 or D25.

Hope this helps.

This worked.

I have another question: Is there a way to capture the text color as well?
