    Indexing with duplicates

    I am attempting to automate an updates worksheet so that specific departments can see how current and previous hiring processes are going.

    Consequently I am attempting to index a region with duplicates and still see all distinct outcomes.

    For our purposes I would like to see how we can pull out all the positions for the "claims" department. I can extrapolate / copy and paste for the other departments.

    Thanks so much in advance!

    Ker

    Filled Positions by Department.xls

    Re: Indexing with duplicates

    I'm experiencing complications with the date fields, I adjusted the necessary columns to J for "Date Open". Is there a complication with the formula or am I just being an idiot?

    Re: Indexing with duplicates

    What kind of complications... perhaps you need to format the result cells as Date (if you are seeing a number starting with 4)

    Re: Indexing with duplicates

    so I copied your fomula into word did a find and replaced on the word "filled" and replaced it with "open" to try to make it work for the other worksheet and I got an error... any thoughts?

    Re: Indexing with duplicates

    What kind of error?

    You can do the replacement in Excel itself.. select the columns, then CTRL+H replace "Filled" with "Open"

    Also, you will need to get rid of the #N/A values in column A of the 2 sheets (use IFERROR() to error trap).

    Oh wow, getting rid of the #N/A took care of it.
    Thank you so much I'll mark as solved.
