Hello,
I am working with Excel 2003. I need the formula to look in Column 1 and look at all these names. and compares the name if it is Sally the add Tom in column next to it ( this is who she reports to) , if first column second row is Mary and automatically add Julie on the same row she is but this specific column.

Example:
Name of employee Reports to
Sally Tom
Mary Julie
Bob Julie
John Tom
so it looks at NameofEmployee column and it matches if it is this , this , this name then the manger is this and adds that name in the specif column.

Thank you
Brian b

Suppose in your sheet1 you have data of Employee Name & Manager of employee in column A & B

A B
emp Manager
Sally Tom
Mary Julie
Bob Julie
John Tom

Now in your sheet 2 you have only names in Column A
A
emp name
Sally
Mary
Bob
John

Now in cell B2 of sheet2 write this formula and drag it down ...

=INDEX(Sheet1!B:B,(MATCH(Sheet2!A2,Sheet1!A:A,0)))

I followed the exact same steps, and excel does the trick, but it freezes almost seconds after it completes the job so i cant save my work, or use it in any way. Any ideas?? thanks in advance.

Hi James,


Try to use ranges instead of A:A mean

=INDEX(Sheet1!$B$1:$B$100,(MATCH(Sheet2!A2,Sheet1!$A$1:$A$10­0,0)))
