      Try something like this.

      =IFERROR(INDEX({FLEET-ASSET Database Vehicle ID # Primary}, MATCH([FV# Index / Match]@row, {FLEET-ASSET Database Range 1}, 0)),""

      Did that work?

      I think you're just missing 1 critical element of the INDEX function. The INDEX function has 3 parameters: the range that you're going to be searching within, the Row Index - which you're getting from the MATCH, and then the column index. If your data set spans multiple columns, you need to define where you're getting this information from. I'm hoping your answer could be as simple as adding the column number to the formula like s (in this example I used column 6):

      =INDEX({FLEET-ASSET Database Vehicle ID #}, MATCH([Vehicle ID #]@row, {FLEET-ASSET Database Range 1}, 0), 6)

      Hi @stkatch

      I hope you're well and safe!

      Have you ensured that the matching information is the same type (text, number, date)?

      Was that the issue?

      Did that work/help?

      I hope that helps!

      Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

      Best,

      Hello,

      I verified the column types are the same and have modified the formula in every possible scenario that I can think of, still resulting in a #NO MATCH.

      =INDEX({FLEET-ASSET Database Vehicle ID # Primary}, MATCH([FV# Index / Match]@row, {FLEET-ASSET Database Assigned To}, 0))

      Rrrrrgh, it is probably something really simple that I am just not seeing.

      Ok, after the 100th rewrite, it worked! I think I had the returning column and the matching column swapped.

      Thanks all!!!

      Final formula for correct result was:

      =INDEX({FLEET-ASSET Database Vehicle ID # Primary}, MATCH([FV# Index / Match]@row, {FLEET-ASSET Database Range 1}, 0))

      Ok, do you know how to add the IF no match, blank statement to result in a blank cell when there is actually no match?
