Help With Match Function

[RudeRam]

I am inputting names on one worksheet and I need them to populate
another work sheet but with more info that is obtained from a table on
the same second worksheet .

I have tried using the following formula with no results,
=IF(B6='Schedule Build'!G2,Then MATCH(0,B78116,0))

Part of your difficulty is your syntax: "THEN" does not appear in an
IF() function.

Nested INDEX() and MATCH() functions may work for you. Using American
coins as an example, populate a blank sprdsht like this:
a1 penny
a2 nickel
a3 dime
a4 quarter

b1 .01
b2 .05
b3 .1
b4 .25

d1 penny
d2 nickel
d3 dime
d4 quarter

In cell e1, enter this formula:
=INDEX($A$1:$B$4,MATCH(D1,$A$1:$A$4,0),2)
This function matches the entry in column D to the entry in column A,
and returns the associated value from column B. This will work for
matching names ONLY if the names are spelled exactly the same.

Let me if I can restate my problem here:
I have one worksheet that is the schedule, that I input names into. O
a second worksheet, I have a sign out sheet that I need the names fro
worksheet 1 inputted. Along with that there is addtional informatio
from a table on work sheet 2 inputted into the adjacent cells.


I used the following formula:

=IF(B6='Schedule Build'!$G$2$)(HLOOKUP,Names,'FL
AUTH'!B77:E116,FALSE))

When I hit enter to end the formula I get the formula contains an erro
and when I hit ok the $G2$ is highlighted.

I could use any help on this

Thank

You lost a comma, added an extra $ ($g$2, not $g$2$).

Maybe...

=IF(B6='Schedule build'!$G$2,HLOOKUP(Names,'flt auth'!B77:E116,FALSE),"")

but I don't know what Names is either.

Dave,

Thanks for the input. Names is the table per say on the 2nd workshee
that draws additional information that I need. I was reading on/in
board or a help book that if you put info into a table that it would b
easier for excel to look up the info.

I'm not sure it makes too much of a difference to excel, but using a range name
should make it lots easier for you. You don't have to worry about
relative/absolute addressing (for one thing).
