Default formula's

Dave,
I am fairly new at these formula's in excel. Below is exactly the info that
I am looking at and trying to get back into the sheet contains all of the
address that were dumped into the Fed-x system.
I have 1000s of these shipments that go out Fed-x and their reporting system
only allows you to save it as a .txt file. When you cut and paste it into
excel it all goes into one column.

If I find the shipment number "B702" a number that is unique to each
destination.
Then I need to return the tracking # that is alway one row below the "B702" #
and when their are 2 cartons going to the same destination the second
cartons # is always 23 rows below the "B702" number.

I have honestly not yet tried what you sent back. I wanted to show you the
information below.

thank you in advance for you help.

Maybe...

=index(sheet2!b:b,match(a1,sheet2!a:a,0)+1)
and
=index(sheet2!b:b,match(a1,sheet2!a:a,0)+23)

or maybe

=index(sheet2!a:a,match(a1,sheet2!a:a,0)+1)
and
=index(sheet2!a:a,match(a1,sheet2!a:a,0)+23)

I'm kind of confused about what should be brought back.

using a vlookup I find the info that I am looking for.
I need to send back the contents in the cell that is in the same column but
1 row below the location of the value I found using the vlookup.

I also need to look up the same value again in another instance and return
the info that is 23 rows below the value that i find using the vlookup
