    Index/Match wrong result

    Hi

    i am having some trouble with the index/match lookup.

    I have a sheet with a linked table (to sql) with product info. i am trying to return the product description from that table to another sheet using product code.

    so...
    =INDEX(MyTable[Description],MATCH($F2,MyTable[ProductCode]))

    however, the result for code YWX0001 should return the description WATER. what i'm actually getting is the description of the last row in the table.

    i've also tried not referencing the table which also doesn't work

    so...
    =INDEX(MySheet!B:B,MATCH($F2,MySheet!A:A))


    weird!
