hello I have this formula:
=IF(E6='Actual vs. Budget'!E7,'Actual vs. Budget'!C7,"TBC")

I want to change 'Actual vs. Budget'!E7 so it's not just one cell but a range E7:E70..... and 'Actual vs. Budget'!C7 is the corresponding result in column C7:C70

so it looks for an exact match of the text in E6 anywhere in E7:E70 (it will only appear once) and returns the result from column C

I think index match is the answer but can't get it to work without a ref error, unsure where I am going wrong
=INDEX('Actual vs. Budget'!C7:E70,MATCH(E6,'Actual vs. Budget'!E7:E70,0))
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
fixed my daft error! =INDEX('Actual vs. Budget'!$C$7:$C$70,MATCH(E6,'Actual vs. Budget'!$E$7:$E$70,0))
