There will be a very large list of name, utlimately. Where could I go to get
assistance with that type of VBA code? Thanks for the help.

That would depend on how many people you'd be assigning.

you can use If...Then

=IF(AND(E2="X",J2="Y"),"Sue","Bob")

Or perhaps...

=IF(AND(E2="X",J2="Y"),"Sue",IF(AND(OR(E2="Z",E2=" N"),J2="Y"),"Bob","Charles")

You can nest several If statements, but if you're looking at a lot of names,
you'd want to look at doing Visual Basic code and a Select...Case...

I have a spreadsheet, which is shared on a network that has a number of
columns in it and a very large list of entries. I want to be able to add a
column that would look at a couple of the columns within each row and
determine, based on more criteria, who would be assigned to that particular
line. I would like the column to add the name of the person assigned based on
two other pieces of information in the column.

Here is the information:
Columns A-M, where Column E (Area) and Column J (Type) would be needed to
determine who would be assigned to this line. I know how to setup a VLOOKUP
for one item and attach a name to it from another sheet/tab, but how do I
make it so it would be similar to: If Column E is ... and Column J is ..., or
..., or .... than, Sue is assigned.

Any help is appreciated.
