Help! Excel Formula

[Samrasr]

Below is an example of data in my excel sheet.
A B C D E F
Cell 1 ?
cell 2 Steve 1 to 10 13/2/04 britain
cell 3 Raj 11 to 17 15/2/04 india
cell 4 Ricky 18 to 35 14/2/04 Spain

Now if i enter a numerical value in A1 (where '?' is), i need a formula
which will check the column B and produce a result as desired below

Entery number = 9 then print "Steve 1 to 10 13/2/04 britain"
Entery number = 12 then print "Raj 11 to 17 15/2/04 india"
Entery number = 19 then print "Ricky 18 to 35 14/2/04 Spain"

Please explain in step by step process, and in detail, im really a novice.

Please help find me find the formula that solves this problem. thanks

hi,
sorry. formulas return a value. they cannot perform an
action like printout something. or copy/paste.
you can do what you wish with a macro.
but if you are a real novice as you say then i doubt that
you would understand what is involed with that.
but here it is. tested. works
to use it.
copy the macro for Private sub down
in excel open the vb editor. Alt+F11
in the left pane, click your project to expand it.
select the sheet.
click the down arrow of the left combo box and select
worksheet.
paste the code there.
close the editor and you are ready to go.
good luck. you may need it.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As
Range)
If Range("a2").Value = 9 Then
Range(Range("A3"), Range("A3").Offset(0, 5)).Select
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = Selection.Address
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1
Else
If Range("a2").Value = 12 Then
Range(Range("A4"), Range("A4").Offset(0, 5)).Select
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = Selection.Address
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1
Else
If Range("a5").Value = 19 Then
Range(Range("A3"), Range("A5").Offset(0, 5)).Select
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = Selection.Address
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1
End If
End If
End If
End Sub

If you want to enter a value in A1 and in B1 have the whole sentance
returned to you then the following formula entered into A1 should work

=INDEX(A2:F4,MATCH(A1,B2:B4),1)& " "
&VLOOKUP(INDEX(A2:B4,MATCH(A1,B2:B4),1),A2:F4,2,0) & " " &
VLOOKUP(INDEX(A2:B4,MATCH(A1,B2:B4),1),A2:F4,3,0) & " " &
VLOOKUP(INDEX(A2:B4,MATCH(A1,B2:B4),1),A2:F4,4,0) & " " &
TEXT(VLOOKUP(INDEX(A2:B4,MATCH(A1,B2:B4),1),A2:F4,5,0), "dd/mm/yyyy") & " "
& VLOOKUP(INDEX(A2:B4,MATCH(A1,B2:B4),1),A2:F4,6,0)
