Please clarify. Give us a better idea of what is in the worksheet (just
enough rows and columns for us to get the picture). Are the dates in E2:AJ2
or E2:AJ(N) where N 2?

In your example, could the X by in G10 and you want date from G8?

Or should the example read: i.e. If Cell G5 has an "X" in it I would like to
copy the date in G2 (NOT G3)? I will assume this to be true
Then in D5 use =SUMPRODUCT(--(E5:AJ5="X"),$E$2:$AJ$2) copy this to other D
cells as needed
It will work if there is only one X in a row
You will need to format D5 first as it will display a serial number like
39449

I have a Spreadsheet which contains Weekly Dates from Cell E2 thru AJ2.

If I place an "X" in any of the Cells below these Cells I would like to
copy
the date to Column D corrisponding to the Row which has the "X" in it.

i.e. If Cell G5 has an "X" in it I would like to copy the date in G3
(11/7/2008) to Cell D5 (7-Nov-2008)

Is there a standard formular or function to do this? If not could you lead
me down the right path?
