Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
.
If your data on Sheet 1 begins in A1 :


[Table="width:, class:head"][tr=bgcolor:#888888][th] [/th][th]
A
[/th][th]
B
[/th][th]
C
[/th][/tr]
[tr=bgcolor:#FFFFFF][td=bgcolor:#888888]
1
[/td][td]name[/td][td]safety training[/td][td][/td][/tr]


[tr=bgcolor:#FFFFFF][td=bgcolor:#888888]
2
[/td][td]John[/td][td]X[/td][td][/td][/tr]
[/table]

Paste this formula in B2 :
Code:
=IF(Sheet2!C2="Pass","X", "")

Then you can drag it down the column as far as needed.

Thanks this will only work for one person. Here's what I really need:
I have multiple trainees and training and I need my dashboard on sheet 1 to automatically populate the corresponding cell depending on what is in sheet 2 under their name and the specific training

Sheet 1=Dashboard
x=pass
m=mandatory

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500, align: left"]

[TD]name[/TD]

This formula will return whatever value you have as a result. It can be modified if you just want it to show if they passed. This is an array formula so hit ctrl+shift+enter after pasting the formula.

Code:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet2!$C$2:$C$10,MATCH(Sheet1!$A2&Sheet1!B$1,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$10&Sheet2!$B$2:$B$10,0)),"")
