    Index/Match - returning #value error

    In the attached file I am recieving a Index/Match - #value error, i believe it is because the data type between the files are different but I have changed them to all general and do not get any other results. Help please!

    Those are array formulas.

    You need to activate cell D8, by hitting F2, then hold the CTRL+SHIFT keys down and hit ENTER. You will see { } brackets appear around it.

    Then copy down.

    Repeat for other column.

    If you want to avoid the Array formula, add an INDEX around the MATCH...

    e.g. in D8, =INDEX(PhysMaster!$A$2:$A$36,INDEX(MATCH(B8&A8,PhysMaster!$B$2:$B$36&PhysMaster!$A$2:$A$36,0),0)) copied down

    and in E8: =INDEX(PhysMaster!$B$2:$B$36,INDEX(MATCH(A8&B8,PhysMaster!$A$2:$A$36&PhysMaster!$B$2:$B$36,0),0)) copied
    down.

    You can also rearrange some relative/absolute referencing and use one formula in D8:

    =INDEX(PhysMaster!A$2:A$36,INDEX(MATCH($B8&$A8,PhysMaster!$B$2:$B$36&PhysMaster!$A$2:$A$36,0),0))

    copied to next column and down.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Is this a separate question because there is no reference to column D in your initial question?

    I am sorry Column D is new data that is generated from the above match formula

    Can you look on the actual-class file I am getting NA on each of these do I have something incorrect in the formula?

    Re: Index/Match - returning #value error

    So comparing same row references?

    eg

    =IF(ISNA(D8),FALSE,A8=D8)

    copied down?
