This is exactly what I need if the reference column and the data are in
adjacent columns. Is it possible to do this if the reference data is in
Column A and the data I’m trying to capture are not adjacent to each
other such as column Q?

Okay, after pulling my head out I realised that I need only study the
function better and I was able to answer the question myself.
I thank you Ian for the head start.

Sorry for the delay. I've been offline for a few days. Glad you managed to
sort it out.
