    in [Book2.xlsx]Sheet1!A2:

    =IFERROR(INDEX([Book1.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$2:$A$8,MATCH($B2,[Book1.xlsx]Sheet1!$E$2:$E$8,0)),"-")
    - i.s.z -
    CSE, aka Array aka { }, formulae are confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER.
    Replace commas ( , ) with semicolons ( ; ) in formulae, if your locale setting demands.
    All good ideas are courtesy resources from this forum as well as others around the web.

    @ sqlindia

    Based on your last post it seems that you are satisfied with the solution(s) you've received but you haven't marked your thread as SOLVED. I'll do that for you now but please keep in mind for your future threads that Rule #9 requires you to do that yourself.
    Thanks.
