In Excel, how can I use the LEFT function inside of an INDEX/MATCH? -


so problem this:

sheet 1 has pivot table, sheet 2 has comparable data , formula, feed getpivotdata formula.

sheet 1 entities (row names) looks this: 123456_abc

on sheet 2 this: 123456

i'm trying use index/match function full entity names sheet 1 without having insert new column:

=index('sheet 1'!a:a, match('sheet 2'!a12, left('sheet 1'!a:a, find("_", 'sheet 1'!a:a&"_")-1),0) 

i'm following guideline:

=index (column return value from, (match (lookup value, column lookup against, 0)) 

its not working. have suggestions?

edit: reason, not showing _ in between " " after find

as requested @pnuts

as doing string operations on whole column, work when entering formula in array type - once formula typed in, instead of pressing enter, press ctrl+shift+enter
