I have 3 columns of non-consecutive data in several rows.
For example: Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Widget A Widget A Part 1 100 Widget B Widget B Part 1 125 Widget C Widget C Part 1 175 Widget D Widget D Part 1 225 Widget A Widget A Part 2 250 Widget E Widget E Part 1 300 Widget F Widget F Part 1 325 Widget A Widget A Part 3 50 Widget F Widget F Part 2 500 Widget D Widget D Part 2 450 Step 1: On a new spreadsheet tab, I need a formula to extract the description of column 2 for the second smallest value of "Widget A" (i.e. description in column 1). That is, the answer would be Widget A Part 1. Step 2: I also need a formula (to be placed in the column next to the formula required in step 1) to extract the second smallest for the answer to step 1. That is, the answer would be 50. The index instruction appears to be the function required for step 1 and 2. Index (a2:c11, ?????, 2) The trouble I am having is establishing the need for 2 criteria to be true for the row designation in the index formula. |
