Deriving winners from a list
I have an excel worksheet where one column is a list of names and the next
column either has the word "winner" or "loser". There is only one "winner", so how do I get the "winner" to display in the first cell of the next sheet? -- HL

Hi
Try this =INDEX(A17:A22,MATCH("winner",B17:B22,0)) Column A are the names, column B Winner/Looser Adjust range to your needs. HTH John "Harold" wrote in message ...

As long as it's only one per sheet...

Deriving winners from a list
Sorry,you want info on different sheet, try this one;
=INDEX(Sheet1!A17:A22,MATCH("winner",(Sheet1!B17:B 22),0)) This is an array formula which must be entered by pressing CTRL+Shift+Enter not just Enter. If you do it correctly Excel will put curly brackets around the formula {=INDEX(Sheet1!A17:A22,MATCH("winner",(Sheet1!B17: B22),0))}. HTH John "John" wrote in message ...

It's just a regular formula, just use "Enter"
