Hello,

I need a formula that can get me a value from a column that has unique values and return another cell from that row, can someone help me? ex table below.
ex lets say i need to find value 3 from column G12 and return B12 or concatenate 2 or more cells.
random

Thank you.
i forgot to mention that we use only Excel 2003.

Try this formula : 
=OFFSET(B1;MATCH(3;G:G;0)-1;0)

It will search for the value 3 in column G, and return the value present in column B from the line where 3 is present in column G.

Glad to help, and, even better, glad to see that you understood it well enough to adapt it!
Alternative (just closer to what I had proposed, otherwise your formula is perfect):
=OFFSET(B8;MATCH(3;G8:G26;0)-1;0)

The Result for =OFFSET(B8;MATCH(3;G8:G26;0)-1;0) is cell B12(EEEEEEEEEEEEE), i guess this will come in handy someday.
You made my work so much easier, thanks again and i am glad that i understood it quick
