    Help with a function extracting a word from another sheet

    I need some help with a function I am not 100% sure what to use even.
    I've attached a worksheet. It doesnt look like it would be complicated.

    Basically, I need excel to search for A3's name "3i Group PLC" in the sheet "country of origin" (which is in the 2nd column), and copy its origin into F3. I need to be able to drag it down because there are over 1000 firms AND if there is no firm (like A5) I'd like it to leave a blank space in f5


    I would really appreciate your help!
    Thanks in advance !

    Hi

    Try in F3 and copy down.

    =IFERROR(INDEX('country of origin'!$B$2:$B$100,MATCH(A3,'country of origin'!$A$2:$A$1000,0)),"")
