Index Match formula not working properly

Paul O

I'm trying to use an Index Match formula to pull data from another sheet based on matching an order number (T Scan column). For some reason it works perfectly when the order number is 8 characters. Any order number less than 8 characters returns #NO MATCH. I even tried adding additional characters to one on this sheet as well as the corresponding line on the other sheet bringing both up to 8 and it worked. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

This is the formula I am using;

For order type

=INDEX({DCS ORDER TRACKING (Job Type)}, MATCH([T Scan]@row, {DCS ORDER TRACKING (MV#)}))

For PO Expected Date

=INDEX({DCS ORDER TRACKING (PO Expected Date)}, MATCH([T Scan]@row, {DCS ORDER TRACKING (MV #)}))

Hello @Paul O

Try adding "0" as your search type on your MATCH logic. The search type is the manner in which to search where "0" is not sorted.

For order type

=INDEX({DCS ORDER TRACKING (Job Type)}, MATCH([T Scan]@row, {DCS ORDER TRACKING (MV#)},0))

For PO Expected Date

=INDEX({DCS ORDER TRACKING (PO Expected Date)}, MATCH([T Scan]@row, {DCS ORDER TRACKING (MV #)},0))
