I'm trying to setup an IF function so that it searches for a value, then if
Value is found (TRUE), to offset from the cell within which it was found.
Ex:
With the formula written into Sheet 2, B, I want it to search column A of
Sheet 1 for a 22, then if found offset from where it was found up one cell
and report the station name.

Sheet 1 Sheet 2
A A B
Station Name 22 Station Name(variable)
22 (variable)

Formatting came out funny in my example. Hope the text is clear enough...
if more is needed let me know and I'll try to explain further.

With your datalist on Sheet1 in Column A,

Try this on Sheet2, in B1, with your value in A1:

=INDEX(Sheet1!A1:A100,MATCH(A1,Sheet1!A1:A100,0)-1)
