Sorry Ex. Didn't come out right. I'm trying to match Column Q(TicketNumber) to the # in the description(column J) and show the result in column I (joint use nbr). The number in the description shows in random places in the other cells in column J so not sure if this is doable.

Any thoughts as to if this is doable or not? I really don't want to have to copy and paste all these numbers over to the result column if I can help it.

I don't understand the example you posted in post #2 . The tkt # is unrelated to the Joint use # you show. If the intent is to find which description contains a specific number, maybe something like this:
Sheet2

IJK

For this example, what is the result you want to see in col I?

Your formula definitely will locate the number in the description field for me. I just need it to populate the number instead of a 1. Any thoughts?

I thought you know the number and want to find the first description that contains the number, no?

Sorry, it looks like my reply didn't post. I need the formula to match any ticket number in column Q to the corresponding number in the description in column j and populate that number in Column I. Sorry I didn't explain it well.
