Hi I dont know who has used this combination of functions together but I find it very convenient as it is a bit more forgiving than Vlookup.
It works as follows
=INDEX(Sheet1!$A$1:$E$7,MATCH(Sheet2!A3,Sheet1!$A$1:$A$7,0),5)
where Sheet1!$A$1:$E$7 = the array from where the value needs to be returned (copied )
where MATCH(Sheet2!A3,Sheet1!$A$1:$A$7,0) = the identification of the row the value is in
where 5 = the column number the value is in
in other words index(array,row no,column no) where the row number is supplied by the match formula match(lookup value,lookup array,match type)
Hope this helps[ATTACH]222147
