I would like to find out if the formula I am using below is limited to eight
entries. I have names in column B (Mark, Matt, etc.) that have numbers
assigned to them in column A (1, 2, 3, etc.) and values in column C (5.5,
1.0, 2.6, etc.) When I type a number in column E (1, 2, 3, etc.) I would
like the value from column C to be inputted into column E. The formula works
below, however it is limited to eight entries and I have 40 in column B, A
and C. This maybe basic; however, I am somewhat new at this. I am using
Excel 2003

Please Help
