Sorry I was not very clear in presentingf the problem below. I solved my
problem as follows when I formulated the problem more carefully using the
INDEX/MATCH combination

PRODUCT=RANGE COLUMN 2 SHEET 2
JOB_ID=RANGE COLUMN 1 SHEET 2

FORMULA

=IF(ISERROR(INDEX(PRODUCT,MATCH(K12,JOBID,0))),"NE W",INDEX(PRODUCT,MATCH(K12,JOBID,0)))

LIST= Sheet 2 Column 1

A1 is on Sheet 1
Formula is placed on Sheet 1 B1

Vlookup can't be used as duplicate entries may exist in BLOCK column 1

=IF(ISERROR(LOOKUP(A1,list)),"new",???)
