Hi Riny_van_Eekelen,
Thank you for your approach. As I said in my first post, if I use FALSE result is #N/A all column. So, is not workable this way. I believe the origin of my error stays in linked between sheets but cant figure out why and how to fix it.

CarmenV Wait a minute. Trying to visualise your schedule. You say to have the the name in the first column and the plate in the second. And you look up the plate to find the name. Then you need to move the plate column towards the left of the name column and then look at the 2nd column with FALSE.
EDIT: Alternatively, see if your Excel supports XLOOKUP.
If this all seems nonsense, please upload your schedule to avoid any further confusion.
