    Help with returning lookup data

    Hello I was after a little help. Ive attached a copy of an example spreadsheet. As youll see there us data in column A and C. Basicly column A is the results I want to get via a formula. So the formula which would go in column B, needs to look in column C and give the results seen in column A.

    First insert a row above the data, then in B2:

    =IF(ISTEXT(C2),C2,B1)

    copied down.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
