I have 7 columns (1st with names, the next 6 with % scores). I am wanting a
formula to find a specific name in the first column (reading down) and return
the results of the 6 columns to the right of the name. Any ideas on how to
accomplish this?

Thanks,

=SUM(INDEX(B1:H100,MATCH(the_name,A1:A100,0),0))

Ok, I cannot seem to get that to work. I revised the formula to fit the data
I have (changed the_name to the name I needed, ect). Below I have copied a
simple version of what I am trying to accomplish:

A B C D
1 Name Score 1 Score 2 Score 3
2 Chris 80 95 85
3 Andy 75 90 80
4 David 70 85 75
5 Shannon 65 80 70
6 Ryan 60 75 65
7 Bob 55 70 60
8 Ed 50 65 55

I want to write a formula in another cell that looks for lets say Chris in
column A. If an occurence of that name is found, then I would like for it to
return Chris, and the corresponding cells to the right of the name. Does
this make any sense?

Thanks anyone,

You want to return all three scores, probably the easiest, least confussing
way to do it is with three vlookup formulas.
=VLOOKUP($A$12,$A$1:$D$8,2,FALSE)
will find the first score, then in the cell to the right, enter:
=VLOOKUP($A$12,$A$1:$D$8,3,FALSE)
the only difference is the column number you're getting a return from, so
copy and paste works great.
Of course, for the third score you change the 3 to a 4.
So this, in four cells in a row:
Chris =VLOOKUP($A$12,$A$1:$D$8,2,FALSE) =VLOOKUP($A$12,$A$1:$D$8,3,FALSE) =VLOOKUP($A$12,$A$1:$D$8,4,FALSE)
Gives this result:
Chris 80 95 85
Type in a new name where Chris is and you get new scores.
Have fun!

Hi Chris

Bob assumed you wanted to add the 6 values found in the row adjacent to
where the name was found and his formula achieves this.

Try the following. I assumed the name you were typing in was in cell H2.
Insert this formula in I2 and copy across through J2:N2.

=INDEX($A$1:$G$8,MATCH($H2,$A$1:$A$8),COLUMN(B2))
I have used 6 columns of data as per your original posting, rather than
the three you show in this later posting.
