    Cannot match Similar Data - Hidden Characters

    Hello

    I have some data in excel file. I am trying to perform Index match function to return some figures. The data should match but it isnt , maybe due to hidden characters.

    Please advise how to solve it. The formula is in column C on worksheet " Tree view-Detail - Balance_shee"

    Try this:

    =INDEX(Sheet1!$IQ$3:$IQ$11,MATCH(TRIM($A2),Sheet1!$A$3:$A$11,0))
