Hi!

Assume the "Who" range is A2:A50 and the "What" range is B2:B50.

E2 = apples

Formula in F2:

=INDEX(A2:A50,MATCH(E2,B2:B50,0))

Hi all again!

here is the deal, I have one column to enter say WHO BUYS so say A2
contains Mike, next column WHAT DOES HE BUY say B2 contains apples, A3=
Orange, B3 = John.
At the end I want to know who bought the apples and who the orange say I
take E2 contains apples then I want F2 to tell me Mike and so on.

Thank you all so much for sharing your knowledge,
All the best

Thanx for you David O & David McRitchie for answering my previous
questions.
