Index Match dilemma

Blanche Marie Lewis

I am attempting to access info from another sheet. I have a list and need to attach the correct person to the item. I've tried 2 different formulas, but it's only bringing back the 1st person that it found, not a different person for each item.

Here are the 2 formulas that I've tried. What am I missing?

=INDEX({TO CHECKOUT Puller}, MATCH([CHARAC FABRIC TO#]@row, {TO CHECKOUT TO#}))

=IFERROR(INDEX({TO CHECKOUT Range 2}, MATCH([CHARAC NOTIONS TO#]@row, {TO CHECKOUT TO#})), " ")

VLOOKUP stops on the first match the same as INDEX/MATCH.

Try specifying an exact match in your INDEX/MATCH by placing a zero in the third portion of the MATCH function.

INDEX/MATCH will only pull the first row where a match is found. Are you able to provide screenshots for reference?

Blanche Marie Lewis

Well that won't work for me then. Bleh! Do I need to stick with VLookUp? I can't provide a screenshot because of security concerns.

VLOOKUP works the same way. Are you able to provide a mockup with dummy data?

Blanche Marie Lewis

No. With vlookup it matched it correctly.

Adding the zero in the 3rd portion of the MATCH function worked. Thank you!
