Hi everyone

I have a Sheet containing a column which contains comma separated values containing locations and a value

Item IDLocation results
112Location A :1;Location B:3;Location C:4;Location D:1
113Location A :5;Location F:1;Location X:9;Location Z:1
116Location AA:3

On a new sheet I have a list of all available locations and need to generate a table that looks like showing the value after the : of that specific location.
And preferable also adds the columns if the ID exists so i don't have to manually create every column header
Location112113116
Location A150
Location B300
Location AA 003

Another issue is that the Location names need to be an exact match as some names contain similar words like "Brussels North", "Brussels", "Antwerp North"

I have tried Search formulas without success so far

Thank you
Tom
 
Compatible with older versions of excel

=IFERROR(VALUE(IF(SEARCH($C2,VLOOKUP(D$1,$A$2:$B$4,2,0)),MID(SUBSTITUTE(VLOOKUP(D$1,$A$2:$B$4,2,0),";",REPT(" ",20)),1+FIND(":",SUBSTITUTE(VLOOKUP(D$1,$A$2:$B$4,2,0),";",REPT(" ",20)),SEARCH($C2,SUBSTITUTE(VLOOKUP(D$1,$A$2:$B$4,2,0),";",REPT(" ",20)))),3),"")),"")

Number of chars extracted can be changed by changing the value that's in bold in the formula.

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
