    Index Formula Problems

    Hi.

    I have a large list of technical data sheet names, with the links to their location on the wen in the next column. I carefully watched a youtube video, and was able to get what i am trying to do to work 80%.

    What Am I Trying To DO?!?!

    I have a dropdown box that lists the category for each type of product. When a category is chosen, the names of the data sheets populate below, and the associated link to the data sheet in the next cell, kind of in a filtered list type of way.

    What is not working?

    I have been able to successfully populate the column with the product names, but when i carry the formula to the column that should contain the link, all I see are '0's. I am not sure why.


    I have attached the workbook. If anyone could point out the error I am making that is stopping this from working I would be super thankful.
