Match Offset Formula

[Budge]

Hello Friends,
I have a formula
=OFFSET(B2,MATCH(B2,$M$2:$M$1800,0)-1,-1)

where I need to assess whether the value in B2 exists in the range M2 to M1800.
If it does then take the value in A2.

All values are unique.

Thanks people for your assistance

No drama.No issue.Just playing.
There was no mention of J in first post.
Perhaps too many "J's" is the problem!!

Try this formula
=OFFSET(B2,MATCH(B2,$M$2:$M$1800,0)-1,-1,1,1)

JMuscat,
This works but it puts the value of column A on the same row.What I need to achieve is once we have established that the lookup value(Column B) exists in Column M,go to that same row where the value is matched in ColM and input the value from ColA from original lookup.That the result will be input into Col J

I hope my explanation is OK

Thanks lots

Budge,

Just a wild guess...

In J2 enter & copy down:

=INDEX($A$2:$A$1800,MATCH(M2,$B$2:$B$1800))

Aladin,
Still no good.Can you advise the best way to send sample data and I will do it.
But for now I want to go home.

pll,
I have just figured out what Aladin meant by PM.I initially thought it was Post Master and therefore did not know what he meant.I will send him some data on Monday and then will post back the answer.
I will keep you in the "Loop"

Sincerely
Budge
