Is their a function similar to DGET that returns the value of the first cell that matchs the criteria and ignors following cells.

For example in the following database:
A B
1 0
2 0
3 1
4 0
5 0
6 1

I want to look for "1" in column "B" and get back the value "3" from column "A"

Highlight Duplicates
Home, Conditional Formatting, Highlight Cells, Duplicate records, OK to add pink formatting to any duplicates in selected range.

I don't know if you were specifically looking for a database function, but would
=INDEX(A1:B6,MATCH(1,B1:B6,0),1)

meet your needs?

good luck
