I have two data set sheets, (Sheet1) contains invoice data and the other has service data. Unfortunately, the (Sheet2) service sheet does not show the invoice used to pay for the service and the Invoice sheet will often combine services that were paid by one invoice (example: 3062, 3060, 3061, 3058, 3139.) So I have created a third sheet (Sheet3) to look for the data and combine the two data sheets; however, I am having an issue when trying to search the status of a job if it is associated with other jobs. I want the invoice number that is associated with the job number listed in the (B Column) and the paid status in the (F Column).

Jeffery, Thank you so much for the help. I am almost there; everything worked great except for invoices that were under the number sequence of 1,000, at invoice 999 and lower. It added a whole array of invoice numbers to each cell.

an alternative is with Power Query

Power Query:
let
    T1 = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    SplitCol = Table.ExpandListColumn(Table.TransformColumns(Table.TransformColumnTypes(T1, {{"Job #s", type text}}, "en-US"), {{"Job #s", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.Csv), let itemType = (type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true] in type {itemType}}}), "Job #s"),
    Trim = Table.TransformColumns(SplitCol,{{"Job #s", Text.Trim, type text}}),
    T2 = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table2"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(T2,{{"Job #", type text}}),
    MQ = Table.NestedJoin(Trim, {"Job #s"}, #"Changed Type", {"Job #"}, "Table2", JoinKind.FullOuter),
    #"Expanded Table2" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(MQ, "Table2", {"Job #", "Date", "Assigned to", "One-off job ($)"}, {"Job #", "Date", "Assigned to", "One-off job ($)"}),
    #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Expanded Table2",{"Invoice #", "Job #s", "Status", "Date", "Assigned to", "One-off job ($)"}),
    #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Removed Other Columns",{"Job #s", "Invoice #", "Status", "One-off job ($)", "Date", "Assigned to"}),
    #"Changed Type2" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Reordered Columns",{{"Date", type date}})
in
    #"Changed Type2"

What version of Excel are you using?

I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

Also can a job numbe have more than one invoice number?
