first, you have no formula in I4, just a number - 001.
for an index/match to work, in the index section is the area you are looking to return, in the match part is the value to match and the range to match it against.
so it would look like this =INDEX(area you want to match and return,match(value you want to match,area that has that value,0 for a exact match))
are you looking for this?
=INDEX(Member_List!C6:C9,MATCH(I4,Member_List!O6:O9,0))
which matches I4 against the list in col O?

You are asking the formulas to look in columns N, P, and Q (of the 'Member_List' worksheet) for 001.
001 does not exist in those columns so you are getting the #N/A error.

You have this formula in I5, and it works:
=INDEX(Member_List!C6:C9,MATCH(I4,Member_List!O6:O9,0))
It is looking to see if the value in I4 can be found in column O (both marked in red), and if so it returns the corresponding value from column C (marked in blue), which is the MemNo column in your data.
However, the formula you have in I3 is this:
=INDEX(Member_List!C6:C9,MATCH(I4,Member_List!N6:N9,0))
Here you are looking to see if I4 exists in column N, and if so return the value in column C. What you are really trying to do is to see if I4 exists in column O (as before), and if so return the value from column N, so you need to do it this way:
=INDEX(Member_List!N$6:N$9,MATCH(I4,Member_List!$O$6:$O$9,0))
Can you see how to apply this to your other cells?
Hope this helps.
