Excel 2003
Given two worksheets in a .xls file. First worksheet is lookup data. First row of each column is a group name, say GrpA, GrpB, GrpC. Under each group name (rows 2 thru n) are names of people, say Tom, Dick, Harry. GrpA may have 5 names (rows 2 to 6) and GrpB may have 10 names (rows 2 to 11), etc. So we have say: A1 = GrpA A2 = Tom A3 = Dick A4 = Harry B1 = GrpB B2 = Jane B3 = Sally Second worksheet is working data. First column is list of names, starting in row 2. Columns B thru Z have a group name in row 1 -- GrpA, GrpB, etc -- matching the Group names in the lookup worksheet. A group name in row 1 may appear in multiple columns. So we may have A1 = "Name" A2 = Tom A3= Dick A4 = Harry B1 = "GrpA" C1 = "GrpB" D1 = "GrpC" E1 = "GrpA" Some of the names in the working data (Col A) will appear under more than one group in the lookup data. Some of the names in the working data will appear under exactly one group in the lookup data. Some of the names in the working data will appear under no groups in the lookup data. The task is to set a formula in the working data, at the intersection of a name and a group, that will place an "X" in the cell if the name in that row appears in the column of the matching group in the lookup sheet. I've been playing around with IF, the various LOOKUP functions, and the various IS* functions, but have not come up with something that works. |
