Horizontal and vertical criteria ranges + vlookup multiple conditions?

Hey guys,

I would really appreciate som help on this problem.

The workbook shows the structure of my database to the left, and to the right how i would like to restructure the data.

The main problem is being able to transpose the data with multiple criteria ranges on date, id, segment and m.

Anyone have any ideas? Im guessing that I will be needing some kind of multiple conditions vlookup, matrix or something like that.

Best regards

Lukas

Welcome to the forum!

Will you please attach a sample Excel workbook? We are not able to work with or manipulate a picture of one.

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.

For the date column...
=INDEX($A$3:$A$8,MATCH(J$1&" "&J$2,INDEX($B$3:$B$8&" "&$C$3:$C$8,0),0))
copied down

For the others...
=INDEX($D$3:$E$8,MATCH(J$1&" "&J$2,INDEX($B$3:$B$8&" "&$C$3:$C$8,0),0),MATCH($H3,$D$2:$E$2,0))
copied down and across

However, I think that I explained the date column wrong. What if I in the second table on the right already had the date for the specific ID. Then I would need to add another match argument, right?

Hope you understand my question!

Yes, you would need to include the extra criteria, it would go into the 1st MATCH....
=INDEX($D$3:$E$8,MATCH(J$1&" "&J$2&" "&date-cell,INDEX($B$3:$B$8&" "&$C$3:$C$8&&" "&date-range,0),0),MATCH($H3,$D$2:$E$2,0))

Although there is no official rule regarding this behavior, we request that wherever possible both the question AND the answer be provided in substantive detail here within the thread. An attached workbook is an excellent aid for posing a question and offering a solution, but solely doing that with no in thread explanation makes it difficult for researchers to understand or consider the Q & A of this thread without downloading what may be a pointless doc to them, if they can do that at all. Doing that also hides the content from search engines so others may never benefit from this.

I'm sure you understand, and we look forward to seeing you post your formulas/macros in your posts for the searching benefit of all.

Thanks again for all your hard work here!
