Hello,
I need to find all the text strings, which matches to certain criteria. Briefly, I have a criterium "test". Then, I'm interested in the rows which have "test" string in a column B. I'm looking for the text strings in the column C, which correspond the rows according to "test" criterium. I have to eliminate all the duplicate and blank values and finally concatenate rest of the values. VLOOKUP just returns the first match, which can even be blank. In theory, I could use the OFFSET and MATCH -functions for all the matches, changing the reference to correspond the next row from the previous match and continue. However, there are so many matches that it would be impossible to link so many loops. DGET would be an ideal function, only if it could handle the multiple matches. If there was an IS-function to #NUM!- and #VALUE errors particularly, I could determine, if there are matches for the criteria. Array functions don't seem to solve this problem either, because the rows which corresponds the criterium are in disorder, so I can't get an array, which would correspond the criterium. |
