    Question Match Exact formula and Search list with results

    I would like to create a formula that matches what is in a2 with a list in B2:B50000 and pull the corresponding results from C2:C50000 and if can't find then input "OTHER"

    I know there must be an easier formula then what I wrote. Also the formula below isn't retrieving an exact match even when I input Match function.

    Perhaps this?

    =IFERROR(index($C$2:$C$50000,match(A2,$B$2:$B$50000,0)),"Other")
