Jens,
You would be MUCH better off using an Access database for this purpose.
Access provides sample databases for this purpose (at least in their 2007
version). One called "Contact Management Database" another called "Personal
Contact
Manager".
You could start your database off with one of these samples, and then import
your existing Excel based phone book into it.
It should be rather simple once you get the DB set up.

Subject: [mso] A phone book

Hello all,
Can anyone help me please,
I would like to create a phone book in Excel and be able to look up the
numbers from a single cell.
That was actually reasonably simple as all my people have a staff number.
A simple vlookup based on the staff number solved that problem.
The empty column is for a potential variable like initial or a comment etc
What i would like to do is to be able to look up the phonenumber/s based
on the surname (a bit difficult to remember everyone's number when you
have 2,500 employees) and then select from a list ( if that is possible)
the person required. Or have a list to look at from which you can read the
numbers.
I hope this makes sense to someone.
Thanks for your help in advance
