An efficient find function
I have a spreadsheet which is like this: The sheet is mostly comprised
of groups (i.e. literally the cells says Group1, Group2, etc.). Each group header is a named range. Underneath each group there maybe many or no letters. I need to parse out each group cell along with its letters, so I can then do a lookup on the letter rows for certain data. The search should be able to flexible enough to find 1 group, 15 groups or many more groups. I will be doing this search function programmatically, although if it makes sense to format the source spreadsheet to help the search I can do that. This is an example of the sheet, all on 1 column: GROUP1 'named range A 'data I need to the right of the letter B GROUP1 'if there are no letters then the blanks until the next group are filled with the name of the group repeatedly. GROUP1 GROUP1 GROUP2 'named range C D GROUP2 GROUP3 'name range GROUP3 GROUP3 GROUP4 'named range GROUP4 If this makes sense, or if clarification is needed, please respond. Thanks. |
