IF statement with range
I know it's something obvious but I'm getting error messages, no results...
A B Bob 1 Sue 7 Joe 2 I need to look at the entire range of col B and if it is = to 1, give me the corresponding text in Col A. I was using =IF(B1:B3="1",A1:A3,"") but it's obviously wrong. My whole goal is to look at col B, find the top 5 and give the corresponding name sin col A. Any help would be greatly appreciated! |

IF statement with range
Hi JN,
Try: =INDEX(A1:A3,MATCH(1,B1:B3,0)) If the ranking/value for the person you want to return is in another cell, replace the '1' in the formula with the cell reference.

That is EXACTLY what I needed and I would have never come up with it on my
own! You Rule! Thank you so very, very much!

IF statement with range
I don't suppose there is anything that can be done when I have a duplicate
ranking (2 cells with same ranking)...
