Default VLookUp or HLookUp Plus Index - Match, I think???

I need to point the Index to the "Emp Data" sheet.
Can I use a named range in this case?


Yes.

Biff:

Thank you so very much. That's exactly what I was looking for. Now, I need
to point the Index to the "Emp Data" sheet. Can I use a named range in
this
case? I'm pretty sure I can, just wondering?

Thanks again, it worked great!

Thanks, Roger but that is NOT what I am looking for. What I need is to
create
a cross section using a sort of HLookUp and VLookUp function. HLookUp
to
find
a Employee name on a specific row, then use the VLookUp to pick up
specific
data for the employee four (4) rows down at the intersection point! IS
that
possible? If it is, how can I get it done?

Hi Jay

If I understand you correctly, there is an employee name in A2, then
various headings till we get to A10 where the next employee name
occurs,
then A18 and so on.

If this is the case, you could insert a new column A and in cell A2
enter
=IF(MOD(ROW()+6,8)=0,B2,A1)
and fill down for the extent of your data.
This will fill in the employee name against each row of their data in
your multi-line record.
Now, place your cursor in cell A1 and choose DataFilterAutofilter
and
use the dropdown to select the Employee required and you will see a
filtered list of just his/her entries.

IF you do need the data to be on a separate sheet, repeat the steps
above to create a new column A, and use Advanced Filter instead to
extract data to another sheet.
For instruction on the use of Advanced Filter, take a look at the
excellent instructions at Debra Dalgleish's site
http://www.contextures.com/xladvfilter01.html#ExtractWs

If your data is not every 8 rows, then amend the formula accordingly.
In cell A2, ROW() will return a value of 2, so adding 6 will give 8
and
the MOD function dividing by 8 will leave a remainder of 0. If it is
every 7 rows, then change to MOD(Row()+5,7) and so on.

This one requires the Excel guru's or any one with an answer!

What I need to do is the following. I have part of it working
already,
but,
still miss additional information.

I have an application which contains data for employees names on a
sheet
called "EmpData". The data is listed as column and cell A2 -
Employee
Name,
then, by month (Jan, Feb, March, Apr, May, Jun, Jul - Dec) In the
columns F -
Q where the month are listed are Jan - Dec row 5 (Gross Income), row
6
= Fed
IncomeTax, row 7 = State IncomeTax, row 8 = Social Security, row 9 =
Fica.

What I want or would like to do is select the employee name from a
dropdown
combo box on a sheet called "Review" pull and have the selected
target cells
populated with the respective data from a sheet called "EmpData", is
this
possible? I guess that Index - Match may not be enough to pull
everything I
need. I also need to have any blank vertical cells between the
employees
names filtered out or dropped.

Any ideas or samples spreadsheet providing a solution will be
welcomed!

I hope my explanation was clear, if not, post any questions you may
have...

Thanks,...
