Hello,

I have a spreadsheet with multiple sheets.
Sheet1 Column A has alpha numeric values in it like M1, M2, M3, etc. along with empty cells between them. There may be duplicates but that doesn't matter.
I need a formula that I can put on Sheet2 that will generate a consolidated list of what is on Sheet1 based on certain criteria.

For Example:

SHEET1
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[TD="align: center"]A[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]B[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]C[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]1[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]M1
[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]2
[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]Twigs[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]2[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]M1[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]1[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]Berries[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]3[/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]4[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]M2[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]3[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]Twigs[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]5[/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


​
SHEET2
I need the formula to look in Column A on Sheet1 and find all the rows that have a value starting with the letter "M", and then return the values Sheet 1 Columns B & C, but consolidated as shown here.

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[TD="align: center"]A[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]B[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]1[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]Twigs[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]5[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]2[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]Berries[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]1[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]3[/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]4[/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="align: center"]5[/TD]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


Thank you,
B

I am having trouble with the pivot table reporting the values in the data range correctly. Must the range be sorted to work properly.
My range cannot be sorted. I also tried creating a table and basing the pivot table from that table and same issue.

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
You could upload a copy of your file to a free site such www.dropbox.com. Once you do that, mark it for 'Sharing' and you will be given a link to the file that you can post here. If the workbook contains confidential information, you could replace it with generic data.

In the file put the result of the pivot table and elsewhere put the result you need.
