A6:A57 (Is the list of Employee Names)
B6:B57 (Is the Employee ID Number)
F7 (To enter the Employee ID Number required, then when it matches any
number in B6:B57, then the Employee Name appears. Also note that F7 is
located to another sheet within that File.)
Think you've switched the columns A & B around in the descript above,
compared to what was inferred in your orig. post <g
Try in say, G7 (on the same sheet as the input cell F7), either:
=INDEX('Allowances Summary'!$A$6:$A$57,MATCH(F7,'Allowances
Summary'!$B$6:$B$57,0))
or, with the error trap:
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(F7,'Allowances Summary'!$B$6:$B$57,0)),"",INDEX('Allowances
Summary'!$A$6:$A$57,MATCH(F7,'Allowances Summary'!$B$6:$B$57,0)))
If you still get no matches where there obviously should be, one guess is
that the employee id numbers in: 'Allowances Summary'!$B$6:$B$57
are text numbers while those entered in F7 are real numbers, thus throwing
the matching off.
Try this to convert: 'Allowances Summary'!$B$6:$B$57 to real numbers. Select
any empty cell and copy it. Then select / right-click on the range:
'Allowances Summary'!$B$6:$B$57 and choose Paste Special Check "Add" OK.
This operation will convert all the text numbers to real numbers for proper
matching. Try the above, let us know how it goes.

Thank you guys for your immediate reply, but it gave me a blank that
means it didn't found anything matches that I required.
For more explanation about my request is:
A6:A57 (Is the list of Employee Names)
B6:B57 (Is the Employee ID Number)
F7 (To enter the Employee ID Number required, then when it matches any
number in B6:B57, then the Employee Name appears. Also note that F7 is
located to another sheet within that File.)
It is like using "Query" in MS Access.
