    Hi,
    please try this:

    In C2 and down:

    =IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2,E:E,0)),B2,"")

    If you are trying to get the C# relative to col E try
    =IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$633,MATCH(E2,$A$2:$A$633,0)),"")

    Re: Need help with Index Match formula

    Thank you for providing this formula =IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$633,MATCH(E2,$A$2:$A$633,0)),"").

    It appears to work in most situations but for C5 we should be returning the same value as we see in C 4 & 5 as the value in A 4,5,6 is the same "BJY000493122" but for C6 we get no value.

    THoughts on the fix?

    Re: Need help with Index Match formula

    But "BJY000493122" does not exist in col E.
    So I don't understand what you are trying to do. Have you tried the formula from belinda200?

    Re: Need help with Index Match formula

    You are correct "BJY000493122" is not in the Alt ID column E so no value in C6 is correct. Do you know how to not get the values returned in C4 & C5. I tried the formula from Belinda200 and it does not work.

    Re: Need help with Index Match formula

    For C4, C5, C6 should all be blank like C6 is with this formula =IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$633,MATCH(E2,$A$2:$A$633,0)),""). "BJY000493122" is not in the Alt ID Column but with this formula C4 and C5 populate but C6 does not. Attached updated sheet with this formula =IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$633,MATCH(E2,$A$2:$A$633,0)),"").

    You are correct. My bad. Belinda's formula is working correctly. The other one is producing false positives. Thank you
