Hello Everyone

I have two worksheets if the number in sheet 1 cell B2 is in column B of
sheet 2 (say B36) I want the number in A36 to be copied to sheet one.

I have written the following but keep getting #N/A - What am I doing wrong
please?

=IF(COUNTIF(sheet 2!$B$2:$B$576,B2),VLOOKUP(B2,sheet 2!$A$2:$K$511,1,0),0)
--
Thanks as always

=IF(COUNTIF(sheet2!$B$2:$B$576,B2),VLOOKUP(B2,she et2!$A$2:$K$511,1,0),0)

Your row ranges aren't the same size, 576 versus 511 ?

Try this...

=IF(COUNTIF(Sheet2!B$2:B$511,B2),INDEX(Sheet2!A$2: A$511,MATCH(B2,Sheet2!B$2:B$511,0)),0)

Sorry Biff I do have one more question - The below works perfectly - however
I have now realised that there may be multiple matches, is there a way to
show all of these say with a comma between or am I asking for too much??

Thanks as always

is there a way to show all of these say
with a comma between

To do it that way would require a VBA UDF.

How about returning each result to its own cell? That's fairly simple. For
example:

Horizontally:

....A1........B1........C1
result1...result2...result3

Vertically:

A1 = result1
A2 = result2
A3 = result3

Hi Biff - sorry your #1 Pain again!!

all is working well (+ I've made some changes based on other tips from you
on previous notes) however there are still issues with duplicates.

Currently I have as an example
=IF(COUNTIF(Tasks!B$2:B$576,A59),INDEX(Tasks!A$2:A $576,MATCH(A59,Tasks!B$2:B$576,0)),"-")

On the tasks sheet row 59,60 and 61 column B are all the same which is the
same as the number listed on the current sheet in A59, A60 & A61 - but the
data I'm collecting from the tasks sheet in columns D, F & J (same rows)
change on each row which the formula isnt picking up

The formula gives the correct answer for A59 but when I drag down to use for
A60 and A61 it only provides the row 59 answers again.

Gosh I hope this makes it clearer Biff its the only way I can think to
clarify for you.

Any assistance as always appreciated
