    Re: Help with index array

    Not pretty. But in A2 enter
    =IF(NOT(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,Team1!$A:$A,1,0))),"Team 1",IF(NOT(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,Team2!$A:$A,1,0))),"Team 2",IF(NOT(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,Team3!$A:$A,1,0))),"Team 3","Not Found")))

    and drag it down

    Re: Help with index array

    You can also try this:

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,Team1!$A:$A,1,0),IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,Team2!$A:$A,1,0),VLOOKUP(B2,Team3!$A:$A,1,0)))

    @Alkey
    the result of your formula is the name of the player and not the name of the team.

    I am looking for a formula to return the team from each tab based on the name value.

    Re: Help with index array

    This is what it should have been:

    =RIGHT(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,Team1!$A:$A,1,0)&"TEAM 1",IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,Team2!$A:$A,1,0)&"TEAM 2",VLOOKUP(B2,Team3!$A:$A,1,0)&"TEAM 3")),6)
