Why does my INDEX(MATCH()) column formula return #NO MATCH for some values?
I have a simple formula (below) that references another sheet matching the value @row on the destination sheet. This is a column formula in the [P6Description] column.
=INDEX({Source Sheet - Description}, MATCH([P6Number]@row, {Source Sheet - Project Number}))
Why am I getting #NO MATCH for the project numbers starting with "C" but the rest of the "PRJ…" projects match source sheet descriptions perfectly?

Try specifying an exact match in the MATCH function.
=INDEX({Range}, MATCH([Column Name]@row, {Range}, 0))
