Hi folks. I am trying to find a formula or combination of formulas that will return info from an array. I tried vlookup (set to True) but it does not work.

In a worksheet, I have a cell that I can change the number which could be 1 through n. I want to reference the number in that cell and lookup that number from the array below (different worksheet).

<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 444pt;" width="591" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><col style="width: 44pt;" width="59"> <col style="width: 96pt;" width="128"> <col style="width: 56pt;" width="74"> <col style="width: 248pt;" width="330"> <tbody><tr style="height: 45pt;" height="60"> <td class="xl67" style="height: 45pt; width: 44pt;" width="59" align="center" height="60">A

If I enter 1, I want to retrieve the description Test 2 which is the last on the list for the number 1 in the array. If I select 2, I want to retrieve the description Test 4 which is the last in the list for the number 2 in the array.

In advance, thanks for the help...
