For look up the data needs to be sorted, i think.

Use VLOOKUP or HLOOKUP

VLOOKUP("Joe" ,Sheet3!E118:E141, 1, false)

Sorry did not get you. What are you trying to do ?

Could you please upload a sample file with sample data etc on some shared site like https://authentification.site , http://wikisend.com/ , http://www.editgrid.com etc and post back here the link to allow better understanding of how it is now and how you foresee.

Ok thanks. This is a management sheet to communicate on projects managed. The top have sheet 3 are the projects description A1-A100. Hyperlink (Exa A1) takes you to the communication sheet. This is where I need help. If status 1,2 or 3 date auto change to todays date. But previous day date must stay the same. Then the dropdown in the flag colum must lookup the last name in that range and ad the name to the top cell.

Thanks bud. This helps a lot. Took me hours do figure out the rest!!!
