    Re: I am having problems using Index Match on 2 workbooks

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    Pictures are of little value. Honestly, no one wants to re-type your data to try and solve your issue. Additionally, we would only be guessing at how your data was structured, ie. formulas, formatting, etc. Additionally, due to how some browsers behave, many of our members cannot see uploaded pictures/images. Please do not take this route.

    Please attach a sample file that represents what you have. The structure of your attachment should be the same structure as your actual data. Any proprietary information should be changed.

    Include in the attachment any code you're currently using (whether it works or not) and an "After" of what you wish the output to be.

    To attach a file to your post,
    click advanced (next to quick post),
    scroll down until you see "manage file",
    click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
    click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.

    Re: I am having problems using Index Match on 2 workbooks

    change format in Book2 column E to General not a Text
    Paste to E2: =IFNA(INDEX([Book3.xlsx]Sheet1!A$2:A$5,MATCH(C2,[Book3.xlsx]Sheet1!$E$2:$E$5,0)),"") and drag down
    both files should be opened, however it should work with Book3 closed

    Re: I am having problems using Index Match on 2 workbooks

    change index range accordingly

    also you can try with
    =IFNA(INDEX([Book3.xlsx]Sheet1!A:A,MATCH($C2,[Book3.xlsx]Sheet1!$E:$E,0)),"")
    and change only red range suitable to your needs
    but this is not my favorite solution. I prefer defined range, like $A$2:$A$1000 than undefined like A:A
    or
    =IFNA(INDEX([Book3.xlsx]Sheet1!$A:$G,MATCH($C2,[Book3.xlsx]Sheet1!$E:$E,0),1),"")
    where $A:$G is a range of your full table from Book3, and 1 is a number of column in your Book3 table. In this case no. 1 is the first column (A:A), 2 (B:B) etc.
    so will be enoug if you will change only this number to retrive suitable data

    If that takes care of your original question, please click Add Reputation and select Thread Tools from the menu link above and mark this thread as SOLVED. Thanks.
