use VLookup for that.

Let's say A1 contained the following: "Expense Smith 5/2/15"
Tab 2 contains
Smith - JS
Holt - AH
I want my formula to bring back JS, by searching through the list. As there is a lot of data
Try such array* formula
Formula:
Please Login or Register to view this content.
in A1 is your "Expense Smith 5/2/15"
and in sheet2 in column A names in column B initials.
*)...confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.

Thank you Kaper! I was looking for the same thing as MushroomFace. It works fine on my side. I just modified the formula :
=INDEX(Sheet2!$B$1:$B$10,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(FIND(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$10,A1)),ROW(Sheet2!$B$1:$B$10),""),1))
Kudos.
Hi zigfree92037,
it does not matter - row numbers are the same in any sheet. so without sheetname! it is just shorter.
Another example - one could write:
Formula:Please Login or Register to view this content.
but again - no point if formula is in sheet1
Hi
The formula is bringing back a "#Ref!" error, it is an array formula, that is working. Is ROW($B$1:$B$10) the list of values to bring back? Not used Row before.
Thanks!
I had a similar scenario
This is a solution from azumi
If the above is not working then to solve the problem...Originally Posted by MushroomFace
Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.
Remember to desensitize the data.
