    Index match formula not working

    Hi

    In the file names tab, I'm trying to return the value in column AQ of the look up values tab. The file names are completely disorganised and occur in a number of columns / rows. The index match formula that I've attempted clearly isn't working. Does anyone have any advice?

    Thanks!

    Re: Index match formula not working

    it is because you don't have exact matches, for example this one (file names row 2) en-usX9192ca8dad444b6a95ba8b21c84e1efe_P220_Qloop_1.Q_FileUpload_Picture.jpg
    is close to this one (look up values row 123) en-usX9192ca8dad444b6a95ba8b21c84e1efe_P220_Qloop_1.Q_FileUpload_Picture.jpg,|FolderSize:0 MB
    except for the part at the end.

    Please try

    B2
    =IFERROR(INDEX('Look up values'!$AQ:$AQ,AGGREGATE(14,6,(--('Look up values'!$A1:$AP500=$A2)*ROW('Look up values'!$A1:$A500)),1)),"")

    ps. you may increase 500 to others number.

    Regards.
