    Re: index wild card

    I tried I have not got the answer. In column G,i,k & m i have written formula of index & match (=INDEX($B$1:$B$16,MATCH(F2,$A$1:$A$16,0))) and got correct answer but not able to get correct formula in row column F2:f5, H2:h5, I2:i5 & l2:l5. f1 have 5 character. we have to take 1st four character add a wildcard and pick all that match with first four character of F1. Hope now i have explained my problem correctly.

    Re: index wild card

    in cell f2 this formula to be written with a small change. formula is "IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$16,AGGREGATE(15,6,(ROW($A$2:$A$16)-ROW($A$1))/($A$2:$A$16=($F$1)),ROWS($A$1:A1))),"")" change required instead of "$f$1" it should be "Left($F$1,len($f$1-1))&"*". but when I change it dose not work. Could not trace the error when using wild card. requires forum assistance.

    The following formulas replicate the values that were found in the file attached to post #1:
    1. In F2 and down: =(MID(F1,1,(LEN(F1)-1)))&ROWS(A$1:A1)
    2. In H2 and down: =IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(TEXT(SUM(NUMBERVALUE(H1),1),"0"),$A$1:$A$16,0)),TEXT(SUM(NUMBERVALUE(H1),1),"0"),"")
    Note: Copy cell H2 and Paste in J2 and L2.

    Re: index wild card

    Very great thank you JeteMc. Highly obliged. I just last hope but you gave me the way & answer. Whereas in F1 last digit was 1 and if it was greater it omitted 1. I have made correction in 2nd row of your formula. attach worksheet

    You have showed the light and i have crossed the bridge. Again thank you a lot.
