Im not sure if Im explaining this correctly. In the blank lines below,
this
is the formula that I have entered: {=SUM(IF(B1:B4=A6, A1:A4," "))}
As I said before, if the names were numbers (say, 100 - 104) it would
return
the number value, but since it's a name it returns a "0". I want to be
able
to automatically fill in the blank spaces using the columns.

Col A Col B Col C
Adam 4 2
Steve 1 3
Frank 3 1
Joe 2 4

1: ____ ____
2: ____ ____
3: ____ ____
4: ____ ____

Drag down and right.

IF(B1=1,"Steve",IF(B1=2,"Joe",IF(B1=3,"Frank",IF(B 1=4

Below is an example of what I have built. I want it to look at the
list
in
Col B and match it to the corresponding number below, then to display
"Steve"
next to 1, "Joe" next to 2, and so on... I want this all to be
automatic
so
that in subsequent columns when the number changes, the name changes
below
as
well.

Col A Col B Col C
Adam 4 2
Steve 1 3
Frank 3 1
Joe 2 4

1: Steve Frank
2: Joe Adam
3: Frank Steve
4: Adam Joe

If you have to return BULSY, in the formula write "BULSY"

Hope this helps.

I have a table with names going down the column, and then numbers in
the
7
columns to the side. Below that, I created another column of all
the
possible numbers. I then created a conditional to look through each
number
column above and see if it will match the corresonding number of the
cell
I
am in below. If it matches, I need to it to display the name that
corresponds to the number match. However, it seems that it wont
display
the
name for some reason. I know the formula is right because if I were
to
manipulate it so it would display a number instead, this works. It
seems
that the problem is in displaying the name as it's not a number.
Anyone
know
an additional function I need to insert to get the name displayed?
