So i have a filed titled "Name" and then for every row with the "Name" field i can put on the row of address which is on next line

However in certain rows "Name" is positioned as " Name" or as " Name", is there someway for me to have a common variable perform my function.

There are about 10000 line and approximately 4250 have the name. please help.

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
You can use the wildcard "*"

Ex:
=VLOOKUP("*name*",A4:B6,2,0)
