lookup row number
Hi,
can you tell me how to lookup the row number of a name in a list. EG say I have a list of names as below: Andrew Mike Steve Ian Paul I would normally just add a column with the row numbers and then lookup the row number in the second column but is it possible to do without adding the extra column by using the row formula someohow? Thanks

Match will give you the row number, as in:
=MATCH("Andrew",A1:A5,0) Regards, Fred "Michael" wrote in message ... Hi, can you tell me how to lookup the row number of a name in a list.
