Can the question 2 be solved using an if function?

Hi Khushboo,

You could use IF but only for small numbers of records, and the records/rows would need to be sorted ascending or descending based on the number.  You'd need to use an IF for every person and nesting them quickly becomes unwieldy.

INDEX/MATCH is a better solution for larger numbers of rows/records.
