help for a typical basic formula one summary list @ cells B24,B25,B26;B27
 

hi all,

greetings. just posted now since 12 years ago for a refresher.

xlsx 2016
below is my sheet 1
Col(A ) Col(B ) Col(C ) Col(D ) Col(E ) Col(F )
Row(1 ) TABLE (S/N) status beer vodka whisky brandy
Row(2 ) P0102 good condition whisky
Row(3 ) P0103 good condition vodka
Row(4 ) P0104 good condition beer
Row(5 ) P0105 good condition vodka
Row(6 ) P0106 under repair
Row(7 ) P0107 good condition whisky
Row(8 ) P0108 under repair
Row(9 ) P0109 good condition beer
Row(10 ) P0110 good condition whisky
Row(11 ) P0111 good condition vodka
Row(12 ) P0112 under repair
Row(13 ) P0113 good condition whisky
Row(14 ) P0114 under repair
Row(15 ) P0115 good condition brandy

Row(17 ) P0117 under repair
Row(18 ) P0118 good condition vodka
Row(19 ) P0119 under repair
Row(20 ) P0120 good condition whisky
Row(21 ) P0121 under repair
Row(22 ) P0122 good condition brandy
Row(23) BOTTLE TABLES on SERVICE
Row(24) beer P0104 ,P0109 ,P0116.
Row(25) vodka P0103 ,P0105 ,P0111 ,P0118.
Row(26 ) whisky P0102 ,P0107,P0110,P0113 ,P0120.
Row(27 ) brandy P0115 ,P0122.


sample result for B26 contains the merged list of data from col (A) which has a row of whisky intersecting with col (E).
e.g. B26 "=" P0102 ,P0107,P0110,P0113 ,P0120. as quick result from the desired formula

Hello driller3,

It's great to see you back after 12 years! I'd be happy to help you with your formula.

To get a summary list of the bottle tables on service, you can use the following formula in cells B24, B25, B26, and B27:

1. Code:

   ---

   =TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,IF($E$2:$E$22=B$23,$A$2:$A$22,""))

   ---

Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the formula:

1. TEXTJOIN is a function that combines text strings from a range of cells, separated by a delimiter. In this case, we're using a comma and a space as the delimiter.

2. TRUE tells the function to ignore any empty cells in the range.

3. IF is a logical function that checks whether a condition is true or false. In this case, we're checking whether the value in column E matches the bottle type in row 23.

4. $E$2:$E$22=B$23 is the condition we're checking. $E$2:$E$22 is the range of cells in column E that we're checking, and B$23 is the bottle type in row 23 that we're comparing to.

5. $A$2:$A$22 is the range of cells in column A that we want to return if the condition is true.

6. Finally, we wrap the IF function inside the TEXTJOIN function to combine all the matching values into a single text string.

Make sure to enter the formula as an array formula by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter instead of just Enter. This will add curly braces around the formula and ensure that it works correctly.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance.
