    Question Returning column contents based an a formula result in another row

    I have a large spreadsheet that has many training courses listed. I am currently trying to do a search based on training hours...

    so column z (training hours) <1 then I want to have the formula display column A1, B1, C1 in individual cells..

    Anyone have any idea how to do that?

    You mean display A1 if Z1<1, else, for example, blank?

    =IF(Z1<1,A1,"")

    Re: Returning column contents based an a formula result in another row

    That worked! since I have 3 columns want it to do this data I'll have to use the formula in the 3 columns..

    A2 formula =IF(Z1<1,A2,"") B2 =IF(Z1<1,B2,"") C2=IF(Z1<1,C2,"")

    Is there a simpler way to do this?

    Really Appreciate this

    You can not use A2 to display itself. Use another cell instead, i.e , AA2=IF(Z2<1,A2,"")
