    Searching Range for Exact Match

    Heres one ive been messing with for awhile and cant figure out it seems so easy yet im getting no where quick.

    I want to search the range of cells A50:A1750 for a Serial Number in A1 if found i want B1 ( where the formula is ) to return the infomation in column C of the row found for example:

    I Want B1 to Return Column C of the row that matches A1


    A1 = Test
    A1125 = Test
    C1125 = Good

    B1 should return Good

    =INDEX(C50:C1750, MATCH(A1, A50:A1750, 0)) if you require an exact match.

    Moved the columns around a little and added another sheet with your help this worked perfectly:

    =INDEX(POE!$A$1:$I$1750, MATCH(A7, POE!$A$1:$A$1750, 0),9)

    Thanks Guys

    Or =INDEX(POE!$I$1:$I$1750, MATCH(A7, POE!$A$1:$A$1750, 0))

    ... or

    =VLOOKUP(A7, POE!$A$1:$I$1750, 9, FALSE)
