    Scan a row for text; return row and column header info

    Hi folks -

    I've been using a nice colorful spreadsheet to use to schedule rooms for an organization. Visually it has worked out well but now I need to automatically generate a 'report' using that data. So...

    I want to scan each row of a table and create another table with that data transformed.
    That is, scan each row and whenever I find any text in a cell I want to return that text (the room being used) as well as the row and column header information (who is starting to use that room and on what date). I've attached a jpeg to show the example.

    Ideally, when I scan the row and find text to return the headers I'd like the row scan to also find when the fill color changes and return that column header, too as that that would be the date that the room stops being used.

    I did a lot of these types of formulas a few years ago but have lost my knack through lack of use

    Any help would be greatly appreciated as my boss wants this type of report ASAP!

    Jim
