    Need help with index, match, offset formula

    I'm trying to build a fixed sheet that pulls data from a csv file generated by a web application. If the name in column a was populated in every cell next to the variable name, i could concatenate and do a vlookup on that, but it's not.

    The example has multiple tabs.


    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Re: Need help with index, match, offset formula

    It is not clear to me what you want, but I have a suggestion to fix VLOOKUP.
    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A5,'data dump'!$B$5:$M$7,COLUMN()-1,0),"")

    You mentioned VLOOKUP, but didn't finish the sentence. Were you doing to say it was not working?

    This formula can be used, pointing to the range for Unit 1. (The COLUMN() makes it easy to copy down and across, without having to edit every cell!)

    It won't work for Variable 2 because there is a typo in the data. There is an extra space at the end of variable 2 on the Data Dump sheet.

    Does this help, or are you trying to get more complex?

    Sorry for the ambiguity David.

    I need the fixed sheet to look for unit 1 on the data dump sheet, then look for variable 1 and then copy the numbers in all the hour fields and post them to the fixed sheet in the correct hours for variable 1 for unit 1.

    Does that help?
