Linking a cell from Sheet A to Sheet B if a condition is met

pdv90

Hi

I'm using this formula but it gives error INCORRECT ARGUMENT:

=INDEX(COLLECT({Vendor Details Range 1}, [Vendor Name]@row, @cell = {Vendor Name Check}), 1)

What I intend to do is this:

If [Vendor Name]@row in Sheet B matches with {Vendor Name Check} in Sheet A, THEN

Link that particular cell in Sheet A column {Vendor Details Range 1}

Kindly let me know how to make this work.

Thank you

Hello @pdv90,

If I read correctly, in Sheet B, you would like to retrieve the vendor details from Sheet A based upon the vendor name? If so would something like this work for you?

=INDEX(COLLECT({Sheet A - Vendor Details}, {Sheet A - Vendor Name}, [Vendor Name]@row), 1)

The formula is asking to collect the [Vendor Details] in Sheet A, based upon the [Vendor Name] in Sheet B equalling the [Vendor Name] in Sheet A for each row.

Sheet A Demo:-

Sheet B Demo:-

If you think you might have blank rows in Sheet B, it can help to add an IFERROR statement to the formula as per the example below which will leave the cell blank rather than show an error message.

=IFERROR(INDEX(COLLECT({Sheet A - Vendor Details}, {Sheet A - Vendor Name}, [Vendor Name]@row), 1), " ")

Sheet B Demo (with IFERROR Statement):-

I hope that is helpful to you in someway.
