Firstly, Hello all

I am trying to correct this formula as it returns a #Value error =INDEX(AG$5:AG$31,MATCH(B11,AG$5:AG$301,0),AH5)

looking to display the contents of AH5 (which is a Purchase Order number) in say cell Z1
  1. if I use the evaluate function it does show it is looking at the correct cell, as I can see the PO number.
However, returns the error

Thank you in advance

Excel Facts

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Your INDEX range was till row 31, while MATCH till row 301
BTW, while not VLOOKUP?

=VLOOKUP(B11,AG$5:AH$301,2,0)

?
