Lookup and list
Hi there, I've been looking at Lookup, Match, Index, Find, etc., to do this, but I am getting nowhere with it!! I have a list, like this example: Dan Apples Fred Apples John Apples Pete Oranges Dave Oranges Joe Oranges Albert Bananas Kev Bananas Doris Bananas What I need, say in cell D2, is a formula to find the first appearance or oranges, then return the first name, ie, "Pete". Then in D3 it would do the same but one orange down, to show the name "Dave", etc. Can anyone advise me further please, I'm not quite sure how to do this?!? Many thanks, Dan. -- Voodoodan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Voodoodan's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...nfo&userid=597 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=545483 |
