Thanks, this worked!

But now, I'm wondering if I can add another IF in the same cell. I only
want the first formula to run if the value in another cell equals
something.
For instance, if B16<OFF, then run
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,C3:C14,1,0)),A1,"").
Or if it does equal OFF, then a blank cell overrides the formula you
provided.

Clear as mud?

Assuming A1 contains the name you are looking for put this formula in C18

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,C3:C14,1,0)),A1,"")

How do I search a range of text cells and return value(s) based on my
findings?

From C18, I want to search C3:C14, said cells sometimes containing
names,
to
see if one particular name is there. If it is, I want to leave C18
blank.
If it isn't, I want to insert the name in C18.

I've tried IF multiple ways and it either returns "FALSE" or "#VALUE!".

Help?
