If statement for range of cells

[rmmeb]

Hi all - hoping someone can help solve a riddle that is driving me crazy...

I have unique "names" listed in A2:P2.
If the "name" appears in A2, then Q2 = K
If the "name" appears in B2:D2, then Q2 = D
If the "name" appears in E2:F2, then Q2 = B
If the "name" appears in G2:I2, then Q2 = M
If the "name" appears in J2:M2, then Q2 = F
If the "name" appears in N2:P2, then Q2 = -

For example, "Adam" appears in H2, so Q2 should read "M".

Thanks!

This might work for you:

I created a table with row to output conversion, and indexed it after matching the appropriate column for the magic word.

Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Do not crosspost your question on multiple forums without including links here to the other threads on other forums.

Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).
