This is somewhat what I have.

A The following people will be in Rm 5
B John Smith
C Michael Townsend
D The following people will be in Rm 6
E Jennifer Tucker
F Samuel Rodriguez
G The following people will be in Rm 7
H Allison Taylor
J Jonathan Thompson

This goes on for about 25 rooms. If I insert a cell before the names, is there a formula that will check which rooms are being specified and display the room number the people are assigned to?

[TD]I'm creating a pivot table and wanting to add the Room column to show me which Room the people will be in. I'm looking for a formula that will search the preceding Room number and assign it accordingly.
