Dave,

Formulas can't "push" data to any cells. You don't want to use an IF structure to update
the table. Usually, folks sort the table on column A to make it easier to find the row
desired, then manually update it. Be careful sorting.

Let's say I want to search for "Doe", and if I find one then I want to change the entry
in column B to "Y". If column A is not "Doe", however, I want to leave column B as is.
What kind of a logic statement leaves the B field as is if the condition in the row A is
not met?

Tried a lot of things - no joy.
Thx
Dave
