Default Match Function

I am trying to use the Match function in a database to find b-50's in column
a. It does not find a match even though there is a cell that has that in it.
Is it because of the hypen?

Not because of the hyphen. Does your data have any trailing spaces?

You're looking for the TEXT string "b-50" or are you looking for the value
that is in CELL B50?

In either case post the formula you've tried.
