have it insert the appropriate name from sheet 2 ready for
printing, it works ok with numbers but when i need text i
get a #VALUE error, any ideas anyone i'm pulling my hair

Mike,

Bad formula.

Try
=IF(A4=1,Sheet2!C1,IF(A4=2,Sheet2!C2,IF(A4=3,Sheet 2!C3,"")))

although you may want a different default to "".
