    function to pull cell information from column based on cell location

    Hello,

    Please bare with me, this is somewhat hard to explain.
    I wish to grab a cell value from one sheet and bring it to another based on a previous cell from the same row on the original sheet compared to the column on the second sheet.

    For instance
    Sheet 1
    A 1
    B 2
    C 3

    Sheet 2
    B Formula
    C Formula
    A Formula

    Formula should make sheet 2 look like this
    Desired Result
    B 2
    C 3
    A 1

    please also see attached excel sheet for example
    I have gotten pretty close with
    =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$8,0)),"Missing",Sheet1!B2)
    but of course that ends up pulling
    B 1
    C 2
    A 3
    which obviously is not what we are shooting for

    =IF(ISERROR(index(Sheet1!$b$2:$b$8,MATCH(A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$8,0))),"Missing",Sheet1!B2)

    Hello martindwilson,

    Thank you for posting, but I get
    B 1
    C 2
    A 3
    when i use that code, but I played with it and came up with this, thank you for the idea of using index and match
    =IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!$B$2:$B$8,MATCH(A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$8,FALSE),1),"Missing")
