    Index - match not work correctly

    COLUMN A: VANESSAGARCIA


    COLUMN D: VANESSAGARCIA

    COLUMN D IS THE LOOKUP IN THE MATCH FUNCTION

    I did a VANESSAGARCIA
    = VANESSAGARCIA
    and got TRUE

    MY FUNCTION IS =INDEX(A:A,MATCH(D2,A:A,0))

    Why did'nt the formula result to TURE on the particular name. I worked on other names.

    I reckon the formula would return VANESSAGARCIA

    The INDEX()/MATCH() is working correctly. It's supposed to retrieve the value from the cell.

    If you want a TRUE/FALSE result try:

    =ISNUMBER(MATCH(D2,A:A,0))
