    JonnieB,

    An index/match in K2, like this:

    =INDEX($C$1:$F$1,MATCH(I2,C2:F2,0))
    will do as you require.

    Glad I could help. If you're unfamiliar with index/match, have a look at my last post (#15) in this thread:

    http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...74#post2994374

    which gives an overview of how it works - you may find it a useful introduction.

    And thanks for the rep
