    If Nummber is 1 in A1 and Player name in B1 you can use as examble in C1
    the Formula: " =A1&": "&B1 " .
    This is the easiest solution to display the numbers and players in a cell at the same time.
    If this is not wanted and I have misunderstood please ignore my post. If it is useful, I am happy to have helped you.

        That could be

        =IFERROR(INDEX($K$5:$K$33,MATCH(A5,$M$5:$M$33,0)) & " " & INDEX($L$5:$L$33,MATCH(A5,$M$5:$M$33,0)), "no name")
        
        or
        
        =XLOOKUP(A8,$M$5:$M$33, $K$5:$K$33 & " " & $L$5:$L$33, "no name")

        Latest is preferable if your version of Excel supports it. Both formulas are in attached file.

    If you have separate table which maps numbers on names, in any other place you may VLOOKUP the name based on number (or INDEX/MATCH, etc). Perhaps you may submit small sample file to be more concrete.

        Hello CoachK,

         

        Perhaps this is what you're looking for in cell B5:

        =CONCAT(INDEX($K$5:$M$33,MATCH($A5,$M$5:$M$33,0),1)," ",INDEX($K$5:$M$33,MATCH($A5,$M$5:$M$33,0),2))

         Then simply drag the formula down to fill the rest.
