    Lookup first 4 character

    Hi Hi,

    is there any formula that can solve my following question?

    Sheet 1
    Column A
    AAA
    BBB
    CCC
    P/NO.RRR

    In Sheet 2 A20, i would like the formula to look up for "P/NO." in Sheet 1 column A and return result of P/NO. which is "P/NO.???"
    The P/no. can be at difference row.

    TIA

    Try

    =INDEX(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$100,MATCH("P/NO" & "*",Sheet1!$A$1:$A$100,0))

    will only work if there only one P/NO or if more than one will return the first
