I think I understand what you are looking for, in fact on the same day
I answered to your post I answered a similar post, which was looking for exactly this. Assuming again your data is in 'Data'!A2:B20. Column A:A contains the colors, column B:B contains the classification. In your output sheet I am assuming you are entering the first row (A1:C1) exactly as it appears in your post, i.e.: Win/Tie: Lose: Not Enough Data: In other words, let the two categories in A1 be together, separated somehow. The formula is based on the assumption that both categories will appear in the cell. In A2 (*array formula again*): =INDEX(Data!$A$2:$A$20,MATCH(1,- -(ISNUMBER(FIND(Data!$B$2:$B$20,A$1))),0)) Copy this formula through A2:C2 In A3 (*array formula*): =IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(1,(ISNUMBER(FIND(Data!$B$2:$B$2 0,A$1)))*(COUNTIF(A$2:A2,Data!$A$2:$A$20)=0),0)),I NDEX(Data!$A$2:$A$20,MATCH(1,(ISNUMBER(FIND(Data!$ B$2:$B$20,A$1)))*(COUNTIF(A$2:A2,Data!$A$2:$A$20)= 0),0)),"") Copy across and down. That should do it, if I have understood correctly what you want to do. As for where I learned Excel, I am a programmer, who found it easy to learn the basics of Excel. Then, through the teaching of Business Computing for several years I augmented my techniques repertoire. Lately I started following this group more closely and I have learned even more advanced techniques. The formulas I used here I learned in this group: In fact I was struggling for a similar formula myself and had only managed to do it using two columns, until I saw a post by Bob Phillips, a frequent contributor to these groups, which was extracting a collection of unique values from a set of data. The formulas you see here are an adaptation of this formula. HTH Kostis Vezerides |
