Hello,

Please help.

Find the right Column then if has Y, values from Group A will return.

I hope my picture is clear. I'm sorry if I can't explain it clearly.

Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one and nobody wants to have to recreate your data from scratch.

1. Make sure that your sample data are REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).

3. Make sure that all confidential data is removed or replaced with dummy data first (e.g. names, addresses, E-mails, etc.).

4. Try to avoid using merged cells as they cause lots of problems.

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment, so to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Please pay particular attention to point 2 (above): without an idea of your intended outcomes, it is often very difficult to offer appropriate advice.

In column C I 'shadowed' the example. Array enter this formula in C11 and fill down. If you aren’t familiar with array-entered formulas array enter means the formula must be committed from edit mode by simultaneously pressing and holding down Ctrl and Shift while hitting Enter.

You've already solved it ... Please try it.

=INDEX($A:$A,1/LARGE(INDEX((INDEX($B$2:$F$7,,MATCH($B$10,$B$1:$F$1,0))="Y")/ROW($E$2:$E$7),),ROWS($B$11:B11)))

* This formula is not an array formula.
