Default what if formula

The other discussion is he
http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...5-2712fa8c8a82

As Diane said, I don't think it's going to be easy the way you appear to
have it laid out. Would be an absolute "piece of cake" if you laid it out
with all information on one row, as
Bidder Name Amount Bid Address
Then it would be a simple matter of sorting by the 'Amount Bid' column. And
take less room on your sheet.

Don Guillet offered this in the other discussion, what is it that you have a
problem with? (I haven't tried any of it out myself yet)

A helper column in B
=IF(LEFT(A5,1)="$",VALUE(LEFT(A5,FIND(" ",A5)-1)),"")
for the name
=INDEX(A:A,MATCH(MIN($B$4:$B$44),$B$4:$B$44))
=INDEX(A:A,MATCH(MIN($B$4:$B$44),$B$4:$B$44)+1)
