Help! Formula needed.

Below is an example of data in my excel sheet.
A B C D E F
Cell 1 ?
cell 2 Steve 1 to 10 13/2/04 britain
cell 3 Raj 11 to 17 15/2/04 india
cell 4 Ricky 18 to 35 14/2/04 Spain

Now if i enter a numerical value in A1 (where '?' is), i need a formula
which will check the column B and produce a result as desired below
Entery number = 9 then print "Steve 1 to 10 13/2/04 britain"
Entery number = 12 then print "Raj 11 to 17 15/2/04 india"
Entery number = 19 then print "Ricky 18 to 35 14/2/04 Spain"

Please explain in step by step process, and in detail, im really a novice.

Please help find me find the formula that solves this problem. thanks

If you really mean "print", You'll need a macro - is that what you want?
If you mean to put (for an entry in A1 of 9)

Steve 1 to 10 13/2/04 britain

into six cells across in a row, then enter this in the leftmost cell:

=INDEX(A$1:A$4,MATCH($A$1,$B$1:$B$4,TRUE))

then drag the fill handle (lower right corner of the cell) across five
cells to the right.
