Index heading when cell is populated
Hi all TIA, I must be having a lapse this morning...
I have an array of headings with either a "P" (primary) or "B" (Backup) that fall under eight headings. Each row usually has a P and B in two cells. What I'd like to report in another cell is when P is in a column I would like to report that column heading. Same formula for the cell that will be reporting B. I thought about an IF w/ nested IFs for each heading but that seems too messy. Cheers, Kevin M. |
