title: INDEX/MATCH Returning the wrong value. What did I do wrong?
body: <p>I'm trying to create an spreadsheet where INDEX/MATCH automatically populates monthly sales goals. However, it is returning the wrong number.</p>
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/XSoBN.png" alt="enter image description here" /></p>
  <p>In cell B6 I want the value to be 10000. In columns G and H, I've set the goals and the corresponding date in the hopes of matching the goal to the date in row 2.</p>
  <p>B6 is returning &quot;6000&quot; AND &quot;7/19/2015&quot; in an adjacent cell when it should just be returning &quot;10000&quot; ... and I don't know why.</p>
  <p>In H6 the goal for the 7/12/2015 is set at 10,000 from cell G6, which corresponds to the date in B2, so I don't know why it is returning the date AFTER the one I'm matching.</p>
  <p>Thanks</p>
