    Hi pavla70006,

    Sometimes with MATCH you can put a 0 at the end and it helps find a definitive match to what you are looking for:

    =INDEX({Expected Date},MATCH([Course Code]@row,{eDL Code},0))

    I did some testing.

    Without the 0 I had the same error:

    With the 0:

    Sheet it’s pulling from:

    Hope it helps,
