I need help matching text from one spreadsheet to another.

Hi,

I hope someone can help me. I have 2 different spreadsheets, one is called "schedule" the other is called "roster", I want to search for the text "shift A" in C9:C22 on the "schedule" spreadsheet, if it finds the text "shift A" I need it to take the "employees name" in that row in the column A9:A22 and place it into cell C3 in the spreadsheet "Roster".

I hope this makes sense, I'm new to excel and have tried all day to figure this out with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreicated.

Thanks,
Scott

How about this in C3 ?

=INDEX(Schedule!A9:A22,MATCH("Shift A",Schedule!C9:C22))
