Well I am glad I could finally be of some help :-)

There you go figuring stuff out again :)
That does it even better than mine.. way faster
Thanks

Aah, I get what you want now - too late.

I would use

=IF(NOT(ISNUMBER(A6)),"",IF(COUNTIF($C$6:$E$14,RIG HT(B6,2)+0),A6,""))

it is a bit more intuitive.

I figured out how to stop the text and as far as the erratic changing
problem, it went away when I copied the data over to a different
sheet.
go
figure.
Sorry for the hassel..
=If(a6=t(A6),"",IF(COUNTIF($C$6:$E$14,RIGHT(B6,2)+ 0),A6,""))

opps incomplete array in the formula. My apologies
=IF(COUNTIF($C$6:$E$14,RIGHT(B6,2)+0),A6,"")

I rebuilt this on a blank sheet and I can't get it to do that
erratic
thing
either. Perhaps I have my raw data as messed up as my posts have
been.

With the formulas above I get the 667 in G1, "since" in G3, "run" in
G6
and
45 in G8
So if we can just eliminate the text from showing up I can redo my
original
sheet.

I have a lot of different formulas in the original sheet and a ton
of
data
so it just may be that something I did in there is interfering with
it.
I'll
look it over.

I am not sure we are getting anywhere here.

Using your data and your updated formula I don't get the results
that
you
get. I get 667 in G1, and nowhere do I get the 45 in column G that
you
get.
And without the data it is hard to envisage the problem that you
describe,
G9 in your example is already empty, but it could just be that
now it
finds
matches where it didn't before.

Okay so now that I successfully posted a sample sheet, the
problem I
am
having is that when I put the formula into column "G", I get
results, and
then if I drop down to say, cell A300 and enter new data, ALL of
fthe
results
in column "G" change to different results when I hit enter.
Likewise
if I
edit another cell, the results change again automatically a soon
as
I hit
enter.

for example I might have results in G9 and G56 and when I edit
any
given
cell, those two results ("G9" & "G56") disappear and some other
cells in
column G displays results.

I won't ask if that makes since because I have never experienced
it
before.
I think it has something to do with the mix of numbers, dates
and
text.
I hope this helps
Thank you.
Luke

=IF(COUNTIF($C$6:$E$10,RIGHT(B6,2)+0),A6,"")

The formula needs to say; display any "right two digits"
in
col "B"
that
match any numbers in the array $C$6:$E$10, and display
content
of
respective
cell in col "A" into col. "G" without any text.

Again in this example "45" is the only result that should
be
displayed in "G"
which is what does work, but two things are happening:
1. results in "G" column are changing erratically when I
add
data
to other
cells.
2. Text are a result of the formula and I only want
numbers
displayed.

I hope this helps.
Thank you

I can't understand that data, it doesn't come over as

me to tell what is in which cell.

I also don't understand what problem you are getting.

Bob,
Curiously the formula results change every time I edit
a
cell,
any cell,
even if they are not in relation to the formula.
I think I know why but don't know how to fix it. The
modified
formula is

IN COLUMN G6
=IF(COUNTIF($C$6:$E$10,RIGHT(B6,2)+0),A6,"")

In "$C$6:$E$15" there are only numbers, no text
In "RIGHT(B6,2)+0".. "B6" column has numbers (from
formulas) as
well as
dates
In "A6" column there are text and numbers.

Again, I didn't think :) it would be a problem so I
left
out
those
details..
Sorry for that.
Here is a real sample of EXACTLY what I have.
A B C
D
E G
667 9/23/05 10 5

John 20 15

75
68
45 520 80
85
78 45
23 855 90
95
98

So in this example "45" is the only result that should
be
displayed in "G"
with out changing when I add data to other cells.
Is That Possible?
Thank You
Luke

Yes Bob, adding the absolutes for the array
$A$6:$E$10
was
all it
needed.
I
works Great.
Sorry I took so long to answer.. Had to leave for
work.
Thanks again
