Default Function problem


Any chance you would reconsider the set up? It would be much easier if
you had the numbers in col A and the names in col B. Also, be sure to
have the list sorted ascending on col A.

Then you can use this simple formula:

=VLOOKUP(D1,A1:B50,2,FALSE)

can I get the corresponding name to appear in adjacent cell in column
E?
