Hi!

I'm trying to create an "Order Sheet" for our warehouse where the person inputting the order types in the part number and Excel will pull up the part description. I can use DGET for the first line but after that I can't use the same formula since DGET can't look more than one row above the entry.

I've used excel in a limited fashion before so this is my first foray into the more complex functions so this may be super simple and I can't find it. Hopefully my poor description of the problem provides enough info to solve this. Thanks for all the help.

Assume part numbers are in A2:A80 and corresponding part descriptions in B2:B80. User input cell A1.
In B1 type:
=INDEX(B2:B80,MATCH(A1,A2:A80,0))​
