    Post Index match match with helper column

    I'm attempting to return a value from an INDEX MATCH MATCH formula using a helper column to assign a unique value as a look up value. I keep getting #N/A. Cant figure out what is wrong? Ive tried in a table and not formatted. Ive attached a copy and the formula is in cell G55. Appreciate any help you can offer

    Try this:

    =INDEX(TBLTOPERFORM[[-20]:[47]],MATCH(D55,TBLTOPERFORM[CONCATENATE],0),
    MATCH(E55&"",TBLTOPERFORM[[#Headers],[-20]:[47]],0))

    Yes, E55 is number , [-20]:[47] is text.

    As XL automatically aligns text left and numbers right, manual alignment removes that feature, hiding eventual " mistakes" or " differences".
    So if you do not need these cosmetic features ( or if your boss doesn't mind) don't use manual alignment
