    Unhappy Index > Match Function Producing Several Duplicates

    I am using the Index> Match Function to show items on a new sheet on the basis of "Y" being entered into an adjacent column (images attached). My problem is that, if there are spaces or "N" rather than "Y" in that column, my new page produced the same number of duplicate values as the spaces in between. For example, N323 in the Master Sheet is checked "Y", but there are 5 rows above it that have values other than "Y"; therefore, there are 6 total copies of the corresponding "PB 7'-11'" value in the next sheet.
    My formula is (example using cell A322): =INDEX(MASTER!A324:N1084,MATCH("Y",MASTER!N324:N1084,0),1)
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hello loveday and Welcome to Excel Forum.
    It is hard to trouble shoot a formula based on screen shots and would be easier to help if you could upload the file from which the screen shots are taken.
    Note that it will also help to see a manually produced version of the "new sheet" so that we will know what our proposed formulas/code are supposed to yield.
    To upload a sample workbook click on the GO ADVANCED button below the Quick Reply window and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
    Let us know if you have any questions.
