    VLOOKUP or INDEX-MATCH to assign appropriate category

    Good Morning,

    I need help writing a formula to automatically assign a category based on a reference table located on another sheet. I have tried writing vlookup or index-match formulas, but it won't search the table and return the correct category (just returns #N/A).

    I want to search the reference table for a match of cell c3 (April 12b-1 Billing - UMBDS Minimum) and return the category (Other) next to it onto my main sheet. File is attached.

    Thanks!

    In A3

    =INDEX('Reference Table'!$A$3:$A$7,MATCH(C3,'Reference Table'!$C$3:$C$7,0))

    Copy down
    Life's a spreadsheet, Excel!
