    Question Having issues with Same data being duplicated when using Index and match

    Hi all,
    I'm having some issues with the Index and match function only returning same first value.

    =INDEX('Site User List'!$A$3:$A$500,MATCH("AA",'Site User List'!$J$3:$J$500,0))

    The formula, by design, finds the first match.

    What are you trying to accomplish? Why not use a Pivot Table instead?
