Hi All,

I have this simple assets tracker attached below. What I'm hoping to do here is to auto-populate the name from Column C (Assigned To), into Column I (Reassigned To) when the same device (by serial # in Column B) has been reassigned to a new user. I've tried using the INDEX w/MATCH function but could only get it to work on the first two rows.

In the example below you can see the same device has been passed around 3 times and is currently assigned to the user 'Steve'.

Solution
Thanks @Fluff and @JamesCanale for taking the time to respond.

@JamesCanale - your 2nd solution (Index/Sort etc.) hit the nail on the head! Thanks mate.

Appreciate the help everyone.

Cheers.
