Default Conditional Indexing

I'm using the below Indexing w/ matching function to find entries that meet a
criteria. But now I find that i have to take it one step further... I have
to exclude entries that have an adjacent cell in the same row where the first
four letters are PASS. How would I make the below indexing function skip all
results that start with the work "PASS" and move on until it finds a result
that does not have PASS as the first four characters?

=IF(D3="","",IF(ISNA(INDEX(Sheet3!A:A,MATCH(D3,She et3!B:B,0))),"None
Found",INDEX(Sheet3!A:A,MATCH(D3,Sheet3!B:B,0))))

I'm trying this...

=IF(LEFT(INDEX(Sheet3!D:D,MATCH(D3,Sheet3!B:B,0)), 4)="PASS",????,INDEX(Sheet3!A:A,MATCH(D3,Sheet3!B: B,0)))
--- Where the four question marks are, I do not know what to put there to
make it keep looking for the next appropriate value.


Any help would be much appreciated.
