Hi JN,

Try:
=INDEX(A1:A3,MATCH(1,B1:B3,0))
If the ranking/value for the person you want to return is in another cell, replace the '1' in the formula with the cell reference.

Cheers

I know it's something obvious but I'm getting error messages, no results...

A B
Bob 1

I need to look at the entire range of col B and if it is = to 1, give me the
corresponding text in Col A. I was using =IF(B1:B3="1",A1:A3,"") but it's
obviously wrong. My whole goal is to look at col B, find the top 5 and give
the corresponding name sin col A. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
