Default If Question

Shane,
Thanks, it works great. Two questions:
1. Do the names require the quotes because I am pulling them from a list and
2. How long can the string be? I have 35 names to incorporate into the
formula.

=IF(B3="Brian",Sheet2!E2,if(B3="Cindy",Sheet2!E3,i f(B3="David",Sheet2!E4,"")))

If this helps, please click the Yes button

Cheers,

In cell B7 I have the following:

=IF(B3=Brian,Sheet2!E2,if(B3=Cindy,Sheet2!E3,if(B3 =David,Sheet2!E4,"")

Note: Cell B3 is a list.
