    Post Index or If formula - Not sure what to use

    Posting again. Sorry I was notified I posted this in the wrong area earlier this week:

    On sheet 1, Column A, is a list of names. Same name may be listed multiple times in column a. When a new name is listed on sheet 1, it also has to be entered one time on sheet 2 (report page) in column A.

    Is there a formula that can be used on sheet 2, Column A, which will capture a name when it listed on sheet 1, so it doesn’t have to be keyed twice?

    I inserted the formula and copied down a few rolls, but it gave me the same name in all rolls. The name that it inserted is the name that is listed on Sheet 1 in rolls 1-90. I believe the next name starts about roll 91.

    Re: Index or If formula - Not sure what to use

    From your description I can't see how that's possible.

    Can you post a sample of your workbook?

    Re: Index or If formula - Not sure what to use

    When I created the sample it worked. But I need to go one step further if possible. On Sheet 2 I only need the names with open accounts. Can another reference or array be added to this formula?

    Re: Index or If formula - Not sure what to use

    That becomes a little more complex.
    Perhaps it is best to create two dynamic named ranges

    With "Sheet1"
    Name:= Regarding_Party
    Refers to:=

    Name:= Status
    Refers to:=

    Then in "Sheet2" B2 this array formula

    Confirm with Ctrl+Shift+Enter not just enter

    You can use this technique to retrieve unique values from a column.
