Try the below

=IF(ISNA(MATCH($N$1,BuildingNo,0)),"",
IF(INDEX(EMP2009,MATCH($N$1,BuildingNo,0))="","",
INDEX(EMP2009,MATCH($N$1,BuildingNo,0))))

Hi Jacob,

Thanks for replying :-)

I'm still getting a zero.

Does it make any differnce to know that, BuildingNo will always have a
number but Emp2009 sometimes has a value but sometimes is empty?

This confirms that I haven't really got INDEX and MATCH :-)

Cheers

Use ISNA() and IF()

=IF(ISNA(MATCH($N$1,BuildingNo,0)),"",INDEX(EMP200 9,
MATCH($N$1,BuildingNo,0)))

Hi everyone,

I'm using the following formula to get data from a table

=INDEX(EMP2009,MATCH($N$1,BuildingNo,0))

If there is no data matching the building number and employee data in the
appropriate row of EMP2009, then I'd like the formula to return a blank.

I'm getting all tied up trying to add an if statement and it would be
fantastic if anyone could help.

Cheers
