Index/Match formula inconsistent

Jessica Abbey

I have 2 simple index/match formulas to bring over information from one sheet to another. However sometimes the formula returns a #NOMATCH, seemingly dependent on how the data in the data in the other sheet is sorted? There are not parent/child rows so I don't understand why having the rows in a different order would matter? And some rows still get a match while others don't?

Here are my formulas: INDEX({Site}, MATCH(SCML@row, {SCML})) & INDEX({region}, MATCH(SCML@row, {SCML}))

Green photos are the sheet with the index formula. White is the sheet it's pulling info from

Hi @Jessica Abbey

I hope you're well and safe!

Try adding a 0 for unsorted.

Try something like this.

=INDEX({Site}, MATCH(SCML@row, {SCML},0)
=INDEX({region}, MATCH(SCML@row, {SCML},0)

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!
