I have a spreadsheet that lists a number of items, the second columns says if it will be Sold or Purchased and then the third column has a value. I would like to create a list that takes all the "Sell" from the list above and lists them with the value in the column next to the name. I am fairly sure I should use an Array and Match but unsure how to do it.


[TABLE="width: 100"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Name[/TD]
[TD]Action[/TD]
[TD]Value[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]a[/TD]
[TD]Buy[/TD]
[TD]10[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]B[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]66
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]C[/TD]
[TD]Sell[/TD]
[TD]33[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]D[/TD]
[TD]Buy[/TD]
[TD]4[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

I want a table to dynamically generate the listing of the buy info
[TABLE="width: 100"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Buy[/TD]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]10[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Buy[/TD]
[TD]D[/TD]
[TD]4[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Perhaps something like this?
[Table="width:, class:grid"][tr][td] [/td][td]
A​
[/td][td]
B​
[/td][td]
C​
[/td][td]
D​
[/td][td]
E​
[/td][td]
F​
[/td][td]
G​
[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]
1​
[/td][td]Name[/td][td]Action[/td][td]Value[/td][td]Buy[/td][td]Name[/td][td]Action[/td][td]Value[/td][/tr]

[tr][td]
2​
[/td][td]a[/td][td]Buy[/td][td]10[/td][td][/td][td]a[/td][td]Buy[/td][td]
10​
[/td][/tr]

[tr][td]
3​
[/td][td]B[/td][td][/td][td]66[/td][td][/td][td]D[/td][td]Buy[/td][td]
4​
[/td][/tr]

[tr][td]
4​
[/td][td]C[/td][td]Sell[/td][td]33[/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]

[tr][td]
5​
[/td][td]D[/td][td]Buy[/td][td]4[/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
[/table]

D1 contains your criteria
E2=IFERROR(INDEX(A:A,SMALL(IF($B$2:$B$5=$D$1,ROW($A$2:$A$5)),ROWS($A$1:A1))),"")
Entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter. If entered correctly, Excel will surround with curly braces {}.
Note: Do not try to enter the {} manually yourself.

Copy down, then copy all across as needed

That works well. Thank you for helping out. One additional question. Is it possible to make the generated list list "Buy" and "Sell" data (multiple Actions not just one)?

Guy?

If you will only have Buy, Sell or nothing, try this toi get both Buy and Sell
=IFERROR(INDEX(A:A,SMALL(IF($B$2:$B$5<>"",ROW($A$2:$A$5)),ROWS($A$1:A1))),"")
ARRAY entered

Actually, I have 4 variables. I would like to make a list that contains "Sell" and "Sell All". I think it is best to use If(or()) but I can't seem to get it to work. Any help is very appreciated.

This is what I am using which doesn't work:

=IFERROR(INDEX(C:C,SMALL(IF(OR($T$4:$T$200="Sell",$T$4:$T$200="Sell All")),ROW($C$4:$C$200)),ROWS($C$1:C1))),"")

C:C - name
T = action

=IFERROR(INDEX(A:A,SMALL(IF($B$2:$B$5<>"",ROW($A$2:$A$5)),ROWS($A$1:A1))),"")
ARRAY entered

Can anyone help with using the "OR" function within an index function?
