    Need help with data inputted in a certain cell to output a certain name

    Hello!

    I have been on here a million times you guys/gals are great!

    I am trying for the life of me to figure this out, I know its simple but please see what I am trying to do:

    Basically I have a crew that keeps a running excel spreadsheet of customers. I need for column A if it has a certain matched criteria of store number (ex: 223,114,720 will only be numbers) if the store number matches the assigned managers store - in column F display the managers name. How would I go about doing this?

    I have 7 managers - each assigned 8-12 stores a piece (referenced just by store number) If the store number matches, what was keyed in column A I need it to output the correct managers name in column F.

    I have attached a sample of what it looks like. Hope someone can help! Pulling hair out. :P

    Please let me know if I am making since.

    Thanks everyone!!!

    -Brandon

    Your sample workbook has no sample data. Please provide all the information required to present an answer.

    1) Your lookup table with managers and associated store numbers
    2) Examples of the Column A data
    3) Examples of the expected results

    Be sure to think through all the scenarios your data might present... multiple stores IDs, multiple managers, etc.

    Thank you everyone for all of your help! I know this is really small for you guys, but its been racking at my brain how to do such an easy command that would make our lives a whole lot easier.

    Any ideas? PLEASE feel free to revamp spreadsheet - I am open for any remods.

    Thank you wonderful ladies and gents!!

    In F2 copied down:

    =INDEX($J$2:$J$71,MATCH(A2,$H$2:$H$71,0))

    Maybe:

    =IFNA(INDEX($J$2:$J$71,MATCH(A2,$H$2:$H$71,0)),"")

    This worked BEAUTIFULLY! You are amazing and thank you so much again!! OMG. Would it be too much asking how I could get the cell to correspond with the color of the manager as well?

    Thank you AliGW!

    You will need to set conditional formatting rules for the colour - one for each name in the list. It can't be automated without CF unless you resort to VBA. Happy to advise if you want to start a new thread, as it is a different query. Please mark this one as solved.
