Finding Names
Here is the problem that I am having. I have three columns with 'employee #', 'Last Name', and 'First Name'. A B C Emp# Last First 1 Smith John 2 Doe Jane . . . . . . . . . I want to set up a formula so that when I input the number "1" on cell D1, "Smith" will populate E1, and "John" will populate F1. And if I were to input "2" in cell D1, "Doe" will populate E1, and "Jane" will populate F1. Thank you very much. -- exsam21 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ exsam21's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=22666 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=502213 |

Finding Names
It sounds like a perfect use of =vlookup().
You may want to read Debra Dalgleish's notes: http://www.contextures.com/xlFunctions02.html (for =vlookup()) exsam21 wrote: Here is the problem that I am having.
