I am trying to do a Match lookup.
The value I am looking up could be in text or number format.
The search value can also be in text or number format.

What formula could I use that would work for all different combinations of formats, that is:

Number looking up number
number looking up text
text looking up number
text looking up text

E.g. in the link, I am looking up an invoice number. It is clearly there but the MATCH formula gets an N/A error.
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Maybe something like this.
This is an array formula and must be entered with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER.
