INDEX, MATCH Help

[betheeem]

I have a spreadsheet that feeds other sheets in my workbook. I use vlookup quite a bit but for this cell I need to look to the left. I have been attemping to use Index, Match for this but having issues.

I have two sheets named master list (sheet1) and schedule(sheet2), in both sheets column A is ID number and column B is IDname.

I want the formula in sheet 2 to look at sheet 1 and find the matching IDname and enter the ID number in column A of sheet 2.

I am using the following formula which is returning 0.

=INDEX('master list'!A:B,MATCH(A:A,'master list'!B:B,0))

I know I am confusing something could use some assistance.

Try

=INDEX('master list'!$A$2:$A$1000,MATCH($B2,'master list'!$B$2:$B$1000,0))

Thank you for your help. I used the formula below from TMS with one minor change and it worked perfect.

=INDEX('master list'!A:A,MATCH(B:B,'master list'!B:B,0))
