Compare two columns and get values from third parallel column in excel

Here's a simple explanation of what I'm having trouble with. Column A: List of 2300 order numbers Column B: Email Address associated with an order number Column C: List of 100 specific order numbers that I need the email address for So, I'm looking to search column A for a value that matches C, and return the email address from column B in a new column (D). The current formula almost works, but instead of returning the email address where A matched C, it returns the email address from the same row. =IF(ISNA(INDEX(B:B,MATCH(C3,A:A,0))),"",INDEX(B:B,MATCH(C3,A:A,0))) This probably will solve the problem and also remove the  #N/A  result that would appear if you couldn't find a result due to its absence in your lookup list. Thanks,  Neil

Files not showing in pendrive

Dear Friends, Sometime we arrive to a situation when our pendrive shows that a certain amount of space is captured but no files are visible.  Try the following: Check if the file is not in hidden mode.  If the above doesn't work then try the following: Click on "Start" -->Run --> Type cmd and press Enter.  Here I assume your pendrive drive letter as G:  Enter this command.  attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.* --> Press Enter  You can copy the above command --> Right-click in the Command Prompt and  paste it.  Note : Replace the letter g with your pen drive letter.  Now check your pen drive for the files. Good luck..... Neil
