Try this alternative for fuzzy match n return
In Sheet2,
Put in C1, press normal ENTER to confirm will do:
=INDEX(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$10,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(ISNUMBER (SEARCH(B1,Sheet1!$B$1:$B$10)),),0))
Copy C1 down. Modify the ranges to suit. If you need it to be a stricter,
case sensitive search, replace SEARCH with FIND in the expression. Success?
Wave it, hit the YES below

I have two sheets as follows:
sheet1
A--------------B
34145 D173abcd
333215 TI242EFG
344233 E0124ABCD

Sheet2
A-----------B------------C
D-173 abcd ?
B-241 efgh ?
TI-242 XYZ ?
E-0124 STQ ?


What I want to do is taking the value from Colum A in sheet1 and put it in
column C in sheet 2 using Sheet1 Column B as an indicator.

Please note that the Column A in sheet2 has the same data of Column B in
sheet1 but there are extra letters and characters.
