Hi
I have table like below, user will enter age and I want excel to return the name, so I did match/index function like this

=INDEX(A2:D7,MATCH(G4,D2:D7,0),1)

G4 = age

Now if user enter G4 = 40 excel will return john, how can I ask excel to return linda as well. I am thinking it must be array formula, am I right? Thank you

Thank you once again

With this we get the row number that is equal to 40

IF($D$4:$D$9=$G$4, ROW())

The SMAL Function will help us sort the data in ascending order. The first argument of the function is the same formula as in the previous step and the second argument is the Row function that will help us indicate the position we need:

You can see that the second argument of the SMALL function is the function FILA minus 3. The reason for this operation is that the data starts in the fourth row of the sheet but we need to make an adjustment, through the subtraction, so that it starts by number 1.
