    Referencing Next Column Over

    Thanks for taking the time to help a troubled person out.....




    I have attached a Small spreadsheet to help Explain:

    Column "K" Changes Daily; Multiple Options (approx 15 different Choices)

    Whereever the Value "F4" Appears in Column K I would like the Persons Name in Column "J" to Appear in "E5"



    In the First Example I would Like the name "PER2" to automatically appear in
    "E5"

    In the Second Example, I would like the name "PER3" to appear in "E13"


    Thank you for your help

    In E4 enter this formula
    =IF(K4="F4",J4,"")
    Copy formula down for other rows

    Thanks, that works for K4, but I actually need it to "scan" the whole K column for whereever the "F4" Value is (it will not be in the same ROW from day to day, but it will be in the "K" Column)

    Then report the name next to that Value (i.e. "PER1, PER2, PER3, etc) and put that name into E-5.


    The K column is where I will be picking a value "F4, IN, etc" from a drop down menu, one day the F4 Value may be next to "PER1" the next day, Maybe "PER4 or PER5"


    Thank you once again

    I miss understood your problem

    Try this in for your 1st example
    =LOOKUP("F4",K4:K8,J4:J8)

    & this for your second sample

    =LOOKUP("F4",K12:K16,J12:J16)

    That works great.. Thanks

    One minor problem is that when I try and copy my K Values from a Different Spread sheet it screws it up. I've attached an Updated Example.

    Try Copying over the K Values to the K column on the new spread sheet I attached.


    Thanks

    I'm still trying to work around the issue, but it seems to not like when i copy/paste, Maybe because I'm not really typing the letters "F4" into a certain block.

    Any Ideas?
