    I few problems...

    1. You have some trailing spaces in column A of Sheet1. Remove them.

    2. Your lookup range starts at row 4, but should include row 3 too.

    3. If you want to lookup multiple columns to return row number and you want to use MATCH, you need to do one at a time.

    e.g. =IFERROR(MATCH(A2,Sheet2!$I$2:$I$20,0),MATCH(A2,Sheet2!$J$2:$J$20,0))

    copied down.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Yes, it was the trailing spaces that ended up being the issue. I had them for my list of 32 teams and then on my list of 250+ games, and since they matched I thought they should work. However, they didn't but did once I removed the spaces from my list of 32 and edited the formulas that generated the matching list, if that makes sense.


    Everything works how. Thanks and happy holidays!
