    Need Assistance search first col for exact match in column b.

    I have a file with duplicate names of test id's in col a. In col b I have single test id's and col c I have test names. I need to search col a for exact match of test id in col b and if it is there then put the name of test in col c into col d.

    See attached document. Basically I need to know the name associated with the ID in column B.

    Thanks in advance for help. I need a formula to do this.

    D2:

    =IFERROR(LOOKUP(2,1/(B2=$A$2:$A$9531),$C$2:$C$9531),"No Match")

    And copy down.
