The results in column "N" are either in column "T" or "U" I need to be able to find the matching number in Column "T" or "U" and return what is in column "V" into column "K". If no results are found it needs to say "check lookup table"

Index, Match will only look at one column, not sure what else will help me

Thanks Doug

Hi & welcome to MrExcel
How about
=IFERROR(INDEX($V$2:$V$4,IFERROR(MATCH(N2,$T$2:$T$4,0),MATCH(N2,$U$2:$U$4,0))),"check lookup table")

Is there anyway to add a wildcard in case there is alpha charters within the numerical, or all alpha charters, this formula with only work on numerical, I have some instances where this will show up 10110A, or Delivery Charge will be part of the lookup.

If no results are found it needs to say "check lookup table" This Formula works only on numerical =IFERROR(INDEX($V$2:$V$4,IFERROR(MATCH(N2,$T$2:$T$4,0),MATCH(N2,$U$2:$U$4,0))),"check lookup table") I have added Value in front of N2 VALUE(N2) but it will not recognize alpha characters
