Hi Folks,

This is my first posting.

O.O. Spreadsheet - help please.




I have started compilation of an extensive list of ancestors which comprises of five columns, first two text, second, whole numbers, (birth, death, life span) as follows:




A             B         C            D        E

Smith     Tom     1840     1910     70




I have planned for extraction of some data e.g. infant deaths, average lifespan, no.'s achieving age majority, longest living etc.

However I have hit a problem extracting some information, using the above example:

I can add a formula which sorts out the oldest survivor, OK, but I would like to precede that cell result with the relevant column A & B (The named individual) so it would read something like:




Oldest surviving ancestor: Smith Tom 70 yrs




Everything I have tried fails, and I have read & re-read the 'O.O. Help' without success, it must be possible (And probably simple) but too much for my poor old brain!

Can anyone help me?
