Answer 1

Tbone, One other option that is not directly what you asked for but could work as alternative solution.

Rather than using a formula to try and find the corrosponding label, Try adjusting your formulas to work for you. Here are a couple of options depending on what the formula you were trying to parse is. 1. If your formula is a lookup you could just offset to look to the left. 2. Alternatively you could use the "Indirect" function in both formulas to ensure they are referencing the correct location.
