Default Wildcard issue for Index/Match Function when searching numbers

Hi All,

Please help with this issue. Been bogged down all morning.

I have to search a value in a list of values and give the corresponding value in the same row in a different cell.

In my Column B, I have 309.5,328.8,-410.5,-80.3,-1.4

In Column A, I have 1228.3,943.7,44.4,301.1,688.7.

The formula needs to search for 410.5 in Column B and subsequently give 44.4 as result.

I tried this formula but doesnt work at all.


=INDEX(A1:B5,MATCH("*"&D1&"*",B1:B5,0),1)

Where D1 is the cell where 410.5 resides and needs to be looked in Column B.


Thanks alot..
