Try this...

=IF(COUNTIF(January!F8:F100,A1),INDEX(January!D8 100,MATCH(A1,January!F8:F100,0)),"")

I need help with the following formula:
=IF(ISERROR(SUM(IF(NOT(ISERROR(SEARCH($A$1,January !$F$8:$F$100))),January!$D$8:$D$100,0)))=FALSE,SUM (IF(NOT(ISERROR(SEARCH($A$1,January!$F$8:$F$100))) ,January!$D$8:$D$100,0)),"")
This formula works well for Sum total for all matches however I need to
use
it to return a word instead of a SUM .
Example: Column D contains the folowing payment methods. ATM, Check, Draft
I want to use the formula to find the match of A1 in the range F8-F100 and
return what payment method was used located in Column D on the matched
row.
As you can tell it is a nested formula. (Can't copy the nest symbol)
The formula will return a blank if there aren't any match in the range.
NOTE: there should be only one match in the range of F8-F100 so there
should
only be one result in range D8-D100. I'm using this formula on another
page
of the excell book to copy the payment method.
Thank you
Jack
