    how to look up a name and return heading.

    I have a sheet filled with different data which is classified by years (Part1 in the attached file). now I need to classify them by Names (Part2).
    How can I use the Vlookup for different "Name" so that it returns the year? (/to return a checkmark when the name exists in a certain year)
    or is there a better function?

    Please try at
    B21
    =SUMIFS($B$6:$J$14,$A$6:$I$14,A21)

    C21:F21
    =IF(COUNTIF(INDEX($A$5:$K$14,,MATCH(C$19,$A$3:$K$3,)),$A21),"✅","")

    I tried this and it doesn't return anything.
    I only changed the $A$5:$K$14 to 'sheet2'!$A$5:$K$14

    Try these, then:

    B21
    =SUMIFS($B$6:$J$14,'Sheet2'!$A$6:$I$14,A21)

    C21:F21
    =IF(COUNTIF(INDEX(Sheet2'!$A$5:$K$14,,MATCH(C$19,Sheet2'!$A$3:$K$3,)),$A21),"✅","")

    Re: how to look up a name and return heading.

    I selected the table while writing the formula and this is how it looks:
    =IF(COUNTIF(INDEX('Sheet2'!$J$5:$EN$192;;MATCH(H$4;'Sheet2'!$J$2:$EN$2; ));$D7);"ü";"")

    (H$4=C$19, $D7=$A21, "ü" from symbols)

    Guten Tag!

    The umlauted 'u' (ü) returns a tick in the Wingdings font.

    Do you still need help with this? It's not clear from your last post.

    Guten Tag! ^_^

    Yes, the formula still doesn't return anything.
    sorry my last reply wasn't clear. I wrote it to see if there is a problem there.

    I tried COUNTIF(INDEX('Sheet2'!$J$5:$EN$192;;MATCH(H$4;'Sheet2'!$J$2:$EN$2; ));$D7 and it returns 0, where it should be 1. But I still can't figure out the problem
