    Google sheets: Function to return a value from another tab/cell

    Hi guys,

    I am seeking help with retrieving a value whilst INDEX/MATCHING data between 2 tabs.

    My sheet has:

    A name on the left (Admin Snapshot tab, cell A2). On this tab, I am looking to populate data in cells E2 and F2. The number I need is on the WC & DS Breakdown tabs, cells F6 and G6 (0 and 0). I am in need of an index/match function if possible please.

    thank you guys!

    Thanks,

    R.

    Due to the merged cells, you'll just need to add 4 to the match value when you pass it to the index function(s).

    Hi Rory,

    Not sure i follow. I have attempted this:

    =INDEX('WC & DS breakdown'!F:F, MATCH(A2, 'WC & DS breakdown'!A:A,4))

    I don't think that's what Rory meant. Try this:

    =INDEX('WC & DS breakdown'!F:F, MATCH(A2, 'WC & DS breakdown'!A:A,0)+4)
