Ok, my spreadsheet skills may be showing a little out of date here, but I am
hoping an Excel-God can show me the light. I have an array consisting of column A, column B, with 15 separate rows. The array is periodically filled with various text strings, but the data in column B always contains four occurences of the letter "X" in different boxes. I think I need four formulas that will be similar - I want to find the first occurence of "X" in column B and return its matching text label in Column A as a result. In the next box, I want to find the second occurence of "X" and return its label from Column A, and so on for the 3rd and 4th occurence. In my youth, this was a simple matter of nesting IF statements, but with a 7 layer limitation and 15 rows to process, this isn't feasible. I'm probably missing some learning on some better way to handle and test an array - so clue me in if I'm missing a few brain cells on this one (cells - get it?) Thanks! |
