I have a checkbox column "Inv 3rd Party Vendor." I am needing to index a master sheet with all of our property names, and look to see if the "inv 3rd party Vendor" box is checked in that sheet. If it is, I need it to check the box.
Is there data on each sheet that is unique to each row?
yes. each row has a property name that is unique to that row.
Ok. Try something like this...
=INDEX({Other Sheet Checkbox Column}, MATCH([Property Name Column]@row, {Other Sheet Property Name Column}, 0))
works great!!! Thanks!

Happy to help! 👍️
so invoice department added and additional column to index and match. They want to pull the "3rd Party Vendor" i copied the formula above and selected the column for the range, but its not quite returning the right info.
Here is the formula i am working with
=INDEX({CRS Vendor Setup Prop Name}, MATCH([Property Info]@row, {CRS Vendor Setup Vendor}))
But its returning the a value from the row above it. "Lumiere Chandler" instead of returning the value i want..."OPS"
Im missing something simple. Would you mind looking at it one more time?
Thanks
Try searching for an EXACT match with a zero at the end of your MATCH function....
=INDEX({CRS Vendor Setup Prop Name}, MATCH([Property Info]@row, {CRS Vendor Setup Vendor}, 0))
comes back with a "No Match"
Is that exact text within the range on the source sheet?
i need it return the value in the cell in the column "3rd Party Vendor Name" corresponding with "Madison at Round Grove" The value i need it to return is "OPS"
Am i using the wrong type of formula?
Yes. I understand what you need. I am just trying to help troubleshoot.
Try just the MATCH function.
=MATCH([Property Info]@row, {CRS Vendor Setup Vendor}, 0)
What happens?
still returns a NO MATCH...hmm
i figured it out.
=INDEX({CRS Vendor Setup Vendor Name}, MATCH([Property Info]@row, {CRS Vendor Setup Prop Name}, 0))
swapped the range values in the index and match.
Hi all! I'm working on a column formula that will check whether the Column2ref cell in the current row is blank. If it is blank, the formula finds the maximum value in the ID column where the Trainer Name matches the Trainer Name cell value in the current row and the ID cell value is less than the ID cell value in the…
How do I see who submitted a form for a specific sheet?
Hi, I have a Gantt covering 500+ rows of events past and planned. I use it to predict and track values around these events. Using helper columns to identify the current week, I get an email report on a Monday that tells me the upcoming events in the current week (7 days) and their values. Currently if an event spans…
