What is wrong with this formula?

=IF("B2"=GRC_Mapping!$A2:A19,GRC_Mapping!$B2,GRC_Mapping!B2)

I've attached an example spread sheet. Look up value is GRC_Mapping, if column A matches a crossbox is the memotech spreadsheet, I need it to populate a GRC # in the cell directly to the right in column B.

I've attached an example, thank you for taking a look.

Hi

Memotech!C2: =VLOOKUP(B2,GRC_Mapping!$A:$B,2,FALSE)

Copy that formula from C2 and paste into D2 and F2, then down as required.

When I do that it only shows the formula and not the value.

The cells are formatted as text because I need the leading zero's. Could that be affecting the formula?

just a question for you AAAmy. if you did a Google search for what you want, based on what you're thread title is (and was), just exactly what would you expect to get back from that search?
