It works for me. Remember to press ctrl + shift + enter.
If you're going to copy the formula down, you'll need to
make the references absolute:

=OFFSET(divisions!$A$1,,MAX(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH
(B2,divisions!$A$1:$C$6)),COLUMN(divisions!$A$1:$C $6)))-
1,)

I get a #value! when I enter that. Any other ideas. My
division names are
in A1:C1 and the teams are in the five rows below like
you assumed. The team
names are in cells B2:B62. Thanks.

Array-entered, meaning press ctrl + shift + enter.

Can I setup an IF statement to select between 3
options? For example, I have
3 divisions with 5 teams in each division. Can I
setup
a formula to have it
enter the proper division if I have the team name
entered. For example, if I
have BOS in cell B2 how do I get cell C2 to say AL
EAST. I have a tab called
divisions with the divisions listed in cells A1, A2,
and
A3. The teams from
division A1 are listed in cells A2, A3, A4, A5, and
A6.
Thanks.
