    Index Match with nested isnumber

    I am trying to do a index match on employee number and academic grade and return the academic grade. However I am looking for the academic grade to be searched against its qualification (i.e. Bachelor or Masters) which ignores if it is a 'Bachelor of Science' or 'Bachelor (Hons)', etc.

    I can't quite work the isnumber function into the index match so any help appreciated.

    Hello James,

    Can you post more data with (manually) expected output?

    Regards,

    I have added an example of the search requirements and the desired outputs. Hopefully this makes my enquiry clearer but any other questions please let me know.

    Thanks for your help.

    I think you can use this {array formula} in E14:

    =INDEX($F$3:$F$6,MATCH(E11&E10,MID($F$3:$F$6,FIND(" ",$F$3:$F$6)-LEN(E11),LEN(E11))&$C$3:$C$6,0))

    Enter with Ctrl+Shift+Enter (not just enter)

    then you can copy/past to E22

    Blessing

    Re: Index Match with nested isnumber

    Or try this... =LOOKUP(2,1/($C$3:$C$6=E10)/(LEFT($F$3:$F$6,LEN(E11))=E11),$F$3:$F$6)
