    Searching for text in a row and producing a list

    I have a table in A1:BI8 on sheet1.

    I am wanting to, on sheet2, search row 5 (from the table on sheet1) for specific text (eg "1D1") and return the corresponding information in row 1 (eg a name).

    As there will be multiple matches of specific text ("1D1") can this return all of these matches in one cell or insert a new row below and insert the next name.

    Thank you for any help.
    Regards, Andy!

    Suggest you change the subject of this post as per Rule 1 before a Mod comes along...

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Re: Help required with either a formula or code

    Prob needs to be more along lines of
    "Searching for text in a row and producing a list"
    Mods are quite strict on this forum.
    In the meantime I'll have a think about it...

    I can do searching rows into a list but have never searched for columns.
    Still trying this one cos it would be handy to know how..
