Lookup formula?? or other
Hi there, I'm trying to find a way to have a cell return a number from one
column if another cell has text from another column. eg; I need the formula for cell A7 so If cell B7 = anything cell between J1:J32 then I need A7 to = the same row in column I (1:32) so if B7= J14 "office supplies", A7 will = I14 "account #8005 Sorry if I haven't stated it very clearly. I was thinking it could be a lookup formula but I can't figure it out. Thanks in advance for the help |

Thanks Gary but it doesn't seem to work still. It gives me data from column I
but seems to give a random row rather than the cell directly to the left of the cell in J "Gary''s Student" wrote: =INDIRECT("I" & MATCH(B7,J1:J32,1)) -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200725 |

Thanks but this one just gives me an error. Maybe I'm explaining it wrong.
my B column is a drop down list so it will always be a cell within J1 and J35 my A column needs to = column I with the same row as in B eg: if b1=J5 then C1 has to = I5 and so on... Any thoughts?
