    Match Function for Split Numbers

    I have couple of numbers into a cell (Column "A") and I have separated them in columns "B" and "C". My problem is: When I use from MATCH function (F2), there is the error on cell (Please see attached excel file). But if I use copy and paste of data, I can reach to true answer. How can I remove the error?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    try this formula in col C instead... =IFERROR(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1))*1,"")
    it'll change it to number and then the match will work.

    Re: Match Function for Split Numbers

    The numbers in Columns B and C are being seen as Text while the number in E2 is being seen as a number.

    You have two options, change columns B and C to numbers or change E2 to text.

    Option 1:
    B2 =IFERROR(LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1))+0,0)
    C2 =IFERROR(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1))+0,"")
    Keep F2 the same.

    Option 2:
    F2 =MATCH(E2&"",C1:C20,0)
    Keep columns B and C the same.
