    Team creator based on a list with different categories

    Hi team,

    I've got this thing I wanted to do but can't seem to think of a way to do so.

    The idea is to create a team generator based on a list with categories. I'm attaching a simplified spreadsheet with the idea and result I wanted.

    I would prefer this to be dynamic so formulaes would probably be best.

    The idea is to create a team of items based on a category, with each item being only able to be picked once.

    Hopefully, this makes sense.

    Let me know if this works.

    Thank you!

    -Zed

    How can Item 23 occur in two teams? Please explain the logic of your expected results.

    This is the best I can offer based on my not understanding your logic completely:

    =IFERROR(BYROW(E2:E6,LAMBDA(r,INDEX(FILTER($A$2:$A$41,($B$2:$B$41=r)*($C$2:$C$41="x")),--SUBSTITUTE(E1,"Team","")))),"")

    See attached.

    Thank you very much! This works! The Item 23 being duplicated was an error on my side - that's what I get for writing this at 2 AM!
