Hello,
I have created two spreadsheets, one that has a ranking of names, so:
Sheet 1 (Rankings Page)
A B C
1 John AZ
2 Bill CO
3 Joe NY
Sheet 2 (Joe's page)
A B
Joe Rank 
So, i want "Rank" on Sheet 2 to pull Joe's rank of '3' from sheet one and import it into 'B' of sheet 2... so that if sheet 1 was resorted, and let's say i moved Joe to No. 2, Sheet 2 would reflect the new rank of 2 and import "2" into column "B" of sheet 2.
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks!

Ok, I made the question a little more simple, direct and I have provided the "spreadsheet" links below, which are shared. I have also described what i want on each spreadsheet, but go to the first link and then the second. 
Thanks!

  1. Great, thanks. However, I inserted that formula into cell A1, and it doesn't appear to be working. Probably my fault, but any chance you could take a look at both spreadsheets and see why "Sales" individuals are not importing into the "Sales" spreadsheet? I've added 99 names to the "Standings" spreadsheet and filled it out much like i would in real time.

    Thanks.

  2. Hi draft calc:

    I have fixed the formula to display 'Rank' in cell A1 while still having values with a 0 in column C values such as 10, 20, 30, etc. -- so check it out to see how this works for you now.

    Cheers!

  5. Last question, sorry. Can you look at the sheets now and see what is wrong? I feel I've entered it correctly, and it is populating, just with "#Value!"... it's close, just feels like one small piece might be off? Probably my doing...
