Hi,

In Sheet 1, I have this Data,
Column 1
Row 1 Data 1
Row 2
Row 3 Data 2
Row 4
Row 5
Row 6
Row 7 Data 3
Row 8 Data 4
Row 9 Data 5
Row 10
Row 11 Data 6

In Sheet 2
Column 1 Result
Row 1 Data 1 1
Row 2 Data 2 3
Row 3 Data 3 7
Row 4 Data 4 8
Row 5 Data 5 9
Row 6 Data 6 6

My aim is to get the Row Number in Sheet 1 if the Data in Sheet 2 is
matching with Sheet 1. Let say, if I type "Data 1" in cell A1 the result in
B1 should be "1". If Data 2, result must be "3", and soon.

Thanks for the help.

What you need is the Match function:

=MATCH(A1,Sheet1!A:A,FALSE)

And if you want to ignore empty cells:

=if(A1="","",MATCH(A1,Sheet1!A:A,FALSE))

And for ignoring errors:

=IF(A1="","",IF(ISERROR(MATCH(A1,Sheet1!A:A,FALSE)),"not
found",MATCH(A1,Sheet1!A:A,FALSE)))
