    How to INDEX from an array if a cell matches a different array

    Hi forum,

    I am scratching my head on how to index from an array if a certain "Name" in a Lookup cell corresponds to a different array (larger than the initial array).

    I have attached a mock-up for your convenience with arrows pointing to the correct Matched INDEX for that array.

    I have used the FILTER formula to get all the relevant "References" that match the "Name" in the Lookup cell

    Thanks in advance,

    Julian

    EDIT: The cells highlighted in blue are the ones that will have the relevant INDEX formula (if applicable) in.

    Re: How to INDEX from an array if a cell matches a different array

    Windknife, thank you for your solution! I've tried to understand how it works by breaking it down and can sort of see what's going on here but will take it regardless!

    shukla, That function is amazing, in how it generates the correct pairing for ALL the cells in the column with just one formula entered in the top cell!

    The only problem is that the formula does not recognise "807.pdf" and generates a #CALC error.

    Thanks again both for your solutions!
