MATCH returns the relative position of a value in a table/range. INDEX returns a value from a specified table/range-according to its position. The key advantage of INDEX/MATCH is that you can look up a value in a column in any location in the lookup table.
INDEX and MATCH are good options for many cases in which VLOOKUP does not meet your needs. The solution is to use a combination of INDEX and MATCH functions, which can look up a value in a column regardless of its location position in the lookup table. That may also be highly impracticable, if you have large or complex spreadsheets where cell values are results of other calculations-or maybe there are other logical reasons why you simply cannot move the columns around. If that’s not possible, then try moving your columns. Solution: You can try to fix this by adjusting your VLOOKUP to reference the correct column. In this case, Excel is looking for it in column A, not column B. The #N/A error results because the lookup value “Kale” appears in the second column (Produce) of the table_array argument A2:C10. In the following table, we want to retrieve the number of units sold for Kale. If your lookup value is not in the first column of the array, you will see the #N/A error.
One constraint of VLOOKUP is that it can only look for values on the left-most column in the table array. Problem: The lookup value is not in the first column in the table_array argument
