    Hi @JPFisher,

    You're close! Try this formula (you'll need to manually reference the bolded parts):

    =INDEX({Source Date Deliverables}, MATCH([Role Onboarding For:]@row, {Source Data Role}, 0))

    Note that for {Source Date Deliverables} and {Source Data Role}, recommend selecting the column header in your source data, so that the entire column is highlighted. Let me know if you have anymore questions!

    Cheers,

    Ric
