    trying to make INDEX(MATCH) with multiple text values to return.

    I'm having trouble making an INDEX MATCH function that can look for either phrase in the MATCH value for column headings, not both, either or. This is the formula.

    =IF(A10=0,"",INDEX('PMI Gun Data "Paste Here"'!$A$1:$BZ$1000,MATCH(A10,'PMI Gun Data "Paste Here"'!$A:$A,0),MATCH("Alloy1",'PMI Gun Data "Paste Here"'!$1:$1,0)))

    I want to add "Match #1" to "Alloy1" in the second MATCH function and have it search for one or the other.
