Need to do a contains collect collaboration but unsure if possible

alyssad

Basically I have two sheets and am trying to get information from sheet A into sheet B

In sheet A, I have two columns. Column one contains number e.g. "123 456 789" and column two tells me if the row is approved, pending, or unapproved.

In sheet B I need to know what column two is saying in the row where column one contains "456"

Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?

Are you trying to return multiple cells into one single cell? You would use a JOIN/COLLECT formula to do that.

Adam Murphy I'm trying to just get back the one value in the row in column 2 that is on the same row as the row that contains "456" in column 1

Try something like this:

=INDEX(COLLECT({Source Sheet Column 2}, {Source Sheet Column 1}, CONTAINS("456", @cell)), 1)
