You can use the VLOOKUP function in Google Sheets to retrieve the closest date-matching value. Here are the steps:
Here's an example formula:
=VLOOKUP(INDEX(daterange, MATCH(MIN(abs(daterange-datetomatch)), abs(daterange-datetomatch), 0)), rangetosearch, columnindex, FALSE)
In this formula, daterange is the range of dates in your data set, datetomatch is the date that you want to find the closest match for, rangetosearch is the range of data you want to retrieve the value from, and columnindex is the index number of the column in the rangetosearch that contains the value you want to retrieve. The FALSE argument in the VLOOKUP function ensures that an exact match is not required.
