Hi Again,

Struggling to come up with a solution to the following.

Im looking to create an IF formula for the following situation.

If another worksheet has the same value as the current worksheet then display the corresponing cell value of the other worksheet that lies in that row. The range of data to look up is say the whole of column C and then the output consists of the matching results in column A.

So there is a lot of data in each rows and need to output all of the matching entries.

Is this possible, any help would be most appreciated.

It sounds like you are looking for a lookup function.

If the values in the first sheet that you want to find are in column A, and you want to find them in column C of the second sheet and return the corresponding value from column A of that second sheet, use;

INDEX(Sheet2!A:A,MATCH(Sheet1!A1,Sheet2!C:C,0))

Hi again,

I have tried the following Index but doesn't seem to be given an output, I have attached the formula I am using and the source:

{=INDEX($A$2:$C$7, SMALL(IF($B$9=$A$2:$A$7, ROW($A$2:$A$7)-MIN(ROW($A$2:$A$7))+1, ""), ROW(A1)),COLUMN(A1))}

It is exactly the same as in the source but doesn't seem to be working?

I tried INDEX(Sheet2!A:A,MATCH(Sheet1!A1,Sheet2!C:C,0)) also and that doesn't work plus don't think it would be suitable as I need to consider multiple matches.

Any help would be most appreciated

Did you enter the array formula correctly? I.e. without the curly brackets and confirm formula with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER ?

Array formulas are always entered like that, but once it is entered, you don't need to do anything for it to "run".
