    Using the indes/match function

    I have a table with rows of names of people and several columns for each with either a Y or N in them. I want to match a name with the columns for the person that has all Y's in all the columns. I can't seem to figure this out. Thanks.

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

    Try this:

    =INDEX(Table1[Name],MATCH(7,Table1[Count],0))

    That's it excatly. This will do what you need

    =INDEX(Table1[Name],MATCH(7,Table1[Count],0))

    But... what do you want to happen if there is more than one person scoring 7?

    Re: Using the indes/match function

    Here's a modification - allowing multiple reults to be returnedIt's an Array formula, which must be confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.
