Odd behavior with Index(Match
Using a basic Index(Match on 1 criteria to cross reference 2 sheets. I've checked multiple times that 1) the cells pulling in are actual numbers (no formulas), and 2) there is a MATCH to pull in.
Here is the formula - appreciate help on what I'm missing
=INDEX({Equipment Leadtime - MPTs MVA Limit}, MATCH([MPT Supplier]@row, {Equipment Leadtime MPT - Supplier}), 0)
{Equipment Leadtime - MPT MVA Limit} is this range on the source sheet. In the Source Sheet this is data that is manually inputted as #:
[MPT Supplier]@row is a drop-down cell which Data Shuttle upload populates for us. Here I've confirmed the NAMES are as brought in from the Source Sheet which is the same sheet shown above where {Equipment Leadtime - MPT MVA Limit} comes from.
{Equipment Leadtime MPT - Supplier} is literally the same cell the data shuttle creates the drop down in the target sheet above from - so the names definitely match.
What is ODD with having both sheets up to watch the results change as I change the MPT Supplier in the drop-down on the target sheet to make sure there is indeed data is some MPT Supplier names bring in the data…others give a NO MATCH even though I can see the Match.
TARGET SHEET WITH INDEX(MATCH formula
and the Match from the Source Sheet…
I'm sure this is simple but I'm on a deadline - appreciate pointing out my silly mistake.

Hi @RotFraught -
Can you make your INDEX(MATCH a column formula? I'm wondering if there is some kind of variation in your formula in the cells where it isn't finding a match…?
Another suggestion would be to double check your range references, just to make sure the ranges are capturing the whole column.
Do either of those things help?

Thanks Jennifer, the column where the formula is in is a Text cell, I should have clarified in my last screen shots that the row just below where Siemens - Jundiai, Brazil (TUSA) is getting a #NO MTACH is the same INDEX(MATCH formula that is returning a data for Siemens - Tenjo, Colombia (SAT) (image below).
I checked the formula references and all are selecting the entire column and there are no "blank" rows where the formula index and match function could stop. I don't want to use VLookup but can't think of how to fix this - baffeling.
