Brilliant..! Thanks a lot Hans 🙂
Using the same logic I tried to connect between column 'Brand Name' and 'Item Name/Description' of sheet 'Material Register' which did NOT work.! I used the named range 'ItemList' for the same and below is the formula I used -

Can the same brand name occur more than once in the Brand Name column of MaterialData, for different supplier names?
