Trying to match values from different sheets

Kyle Cannella

So I have the master sheet that has a Machine Name column, and I'd like to match it to a Department that is inputted in a separate sheet.

Sheet 1 has 2 columns, Machine Name and Department (this is where the formula will go). Machine name is constantly added with random names being chosen out of a drop down selection from the original list

Sheet 2 has 2 columns, Machine Name and Department

I tried a few formulas, but can't get it to work. The one I've been tweaking was this: =INDEX([Machine Name]:[Machine Name], MATCH([Machine Name]@row, {machine name and department range from other sheet}, 0))

Hey @Kyle Cannella

This formula will work as long as all the Machine Names are unique.

=INDEX({Ref 1: Department Name Column},MATCH([Machine Name]@row,{Ref 2: Machine Name Column}))

That worked, thanks!
