I have a workbook that has 20+ tabs of profit and loss information for different cost centers. I want to add text in a column A based on what the formula finds in column B. I think I should be using Match/Index but can't quite figure it out.
So....directly below is my reference information.
10555 Total SERVICE INCOME
10666 Total PAYROLL EXPENSE
10777 Total FRINGE EXPENSE
10888 Total Payroll Expenses
10999 NET PROCEEDS/LOSSES

So I want the formula to reference the text in column B and based on that match it up and insert the corresponding number into Column A. Does that make sense at all?
Column A Column B
TOTAL INCOME

Total PAYROLL EXPENSE

Total FRINGE EXPENSE

Total Payroll Expenses

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
Hi, this is probably do-able but your request is pretty confusing.

Please post a small sample of your input data, and a small sample of what the results should look like for that data.
Make up some typical data if you don't want to post real data.
