    index match result issue

    I'm using a simple Index and Match with the 3rd value set to 0 because I'm looking for an exact match:

    I was expecting to get a #NA if no match found; instead I get the value for the last record in the list being indexed. This shouldn't happen if I am using 0 for my value, correct?

    I'm using Excel 2003.

    Re: index match result issue

    The 0 needs to be within the MATCH() set of arguments, you have it outside...

    Try:

    =IF(C2="","",INDEX(Master!$D$2:$D$601,MATCH(Control!$H2,Master!$A$2:$A$601,0)))
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
