    Trying to return a number of different text values

    Hi,

    I am looking to create a function that will search through a column, if the condition is met I am looking for it to return a text value from another column.
    I setup the formula =if(c2="carcass-head on",T(L2),"") that function performs the task I am looking for and provides the text from the L cell. Now what I am trying to do is search the entire C column whenever a certain weight type is present, I was to get the point of sale information from the corresponding L cell, without duplicates.

    Does anyone know if this is possible?

    Re: Trying to return a number of different text values

    can you post a sample sheet with expected results
    Copying the formula down would test the column
    BUT not 100% sure what you are after
    How do you define duplicates in your requirement

    Hi eta,

    I posted a sample sheet. So I am looking to create a list of all the points of sale where there are sales with the weight type carcass-head on, based on the sample sheet I would want the Conestoga Flemming, and Brock to be returned once.

    you could use a pivot table , would that work for you
    There are some array formulas that would also work, but a pivot table would work quicker and on large data file
    see attached
