Default excel problem...

Assume source data in Sheet1, cols A and B
(first names in col A, last names in col B)

In Sheet2,
First names are entered in A2 down
Put in B2:
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(A2,Sheet1!A:A,0)),"",INDEX(Sheet1!B :B,MATCH(A2,Sheet1!A:A,0)))
Copy down as far as required

So your source data is in sheet named: Salesperson,
with first names in col A, last names in col B

In sheet: Payroll
First names are assumed entered in A2 down
Put in B2:
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(A2,Salesperson!A:A,0)),"",INDEX(Sal esperson!B:B,MATCH(A2,Salesperson!A:A,0)))
Copy B2 down as far as required. Col B will return the last names (from
Salesperson) corresponding to the first names entered in col A. Unmatched
cases, if any, will return "blank": "".
