    Cannot extract offset row data using Vlookup

    Hi after reading through in search of some guidance I am a bit embarressed to show my ignorance but here goes.

    Extracted example from the 2 workbooks that hold my data is attached.

    I am trying to locate all of the descriptions in the inventory sheet column E that appear in the results sheet column B. I then want to place the data that is 3 rows below the located results match into the inventory sheet eg Inv No 14 at results cell 75.

    I can extract the match by using

    but that is as far as I can get not even sure if this is the best route as it involves single formula copied throughout the sheet.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Maybe:

    =INDEX(result!$B$1:$B$225,MATCH(H2,result!$B$1:$B$225,0)+3)
