This is an array formula. Hit ctrl-shift-enter instead of enter. If you do it
correctly, excel will wrap curly brackets {} around your formula. (don't type
them yourself.)
Adjust the range to match--but you can only use the whole column in xl2007.

If you have the department name and want to return the op number, then maybe:
=vlookup(a5,aa1:ac3,2,false)
Debra Dalgleish has lots of notes:http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions02.html (for =vlookup())
