I did some further testing and came up with an answer that requires several columns (you can always hide those you don't want to see): So in column A, enter those three names, starting at A1. In column B, enter those five names, starting at B1. In C1: =IF(B1="";"";IF(ISNA(MATCH(B1;$A$1:$A$10000;0));1;0)) In D1: =MATCH(1;$C$1:$C$40) In D2: =MATCH(1;INDIRECT(ADDRESS(D1+1;3)):$C$40)+D1 In E1: =IF(ISNA(D1);"";INDIRECT(ADDRESS(D1;2))) Now copy C1 down as far as you want (max C10000, or you need to edit the formula slightly). Copy D2 down as far as you want (max C10000 if you don't to the appropriate editing if C1). Copy E1 down, the same way as C1. Hide columns C and D. Done. Clumsy, but done… Johnny Rosenberg -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
