Thank you all for your very timely replies. You were right Bob, I didn't
give much of a question. What I was trying to say is there are 12 employees,
each with different names. When entered on the ss all are in column A and
their individiual rate of pay in column D. I just wondered if I could
alleviate entering that each time by IFA=JIM D=54.00. Thanks again

Just to add-on to Tyro's comment:
I should also point out that the employee names should be unique.
Names are seldom unique.
Better to use staff/employee ids as the lookups,
if available (usually assigned by the HR dept)
