Hi! Can you please help me solve in getting the row and column name given the value from a two dimensional matrix table?



Here is the table I am trying to work on:
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500, align: center"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]C[/TD]
[TD]D[/TD]
[TD]E[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]2[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]Team1[/TD]
[TD]Team2[/TD]
[TD]Team 3[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]3[/TD]
[TD]Task 1[/TD]
[TD]Code1, Code 2[/TD]
[TD]Code3[/TD]
[TD]Code1[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]4[/TD]
[TD]Task 2[/TD]
[TD]Code2[/TD]
[TD]Code1[/TD]
[TD]Code 2, Code 3[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]5[/TD]
[TD]Task 3[/TD]
[TD]Code 3[/TD]
[TD]Code 2[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


Expected result:

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Input value[/TD]
[TD]Task[/TD]
[TD]Team [/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Code1[/TD]
[TD]Task1[/TD]
[TD]Team1[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]Task 1[/TD]
[TD]Team 3[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the forums. Just to clarify, shouldn't Task 2 / Team 2 also be mentioned because it has Code 1 in it?

Probably the quickest way would be to use Power Query.

Step 1) Make the below table (copy/paste into excel), then bring it into power query. Then right click 'Code1', then click 'drill down', then click 'home', then click 'close and load to' 'only create a connection'.

[TABLE="width: 76"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Input Value[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Code1[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Step 2) Make the below table (copy/paste into excel), then bring it into power query.


[TABLE="width: 285"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Task No.[/TD]
[TD]Team 1[/TD]
[TD]Team 2[/TD]
[TD]Team 3[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Task 1[/TD]
[TD]Code1, Code2[/TD]
[TD]Code3[/TD]
[TD]Code1[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Task 2[/TD]
[TD]Code2[/TD]
[TD]Code1[/TD]
[TD]Code2, Code3[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Task 3[/TD]
[TD]Code3[/TD]
[TD]Code 2[/TD]
[TD]Code3[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Step 3) Go to advanced editor and paste the below. Then click 'home, then 'close and load'.

Code: 
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table2"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Task No.", type text}, {"Team 1", type text}, {"Team 2", type text}, {"Team 3", type text}}),
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"Task No."}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Unpivoted Columns", each Text.Contains([Value], Table1))
in
    #"Filtered Rows"

Note, you might need to alter the names of your tables/queries in order to make this work. Hope this helps...

... in the end, your spreadsheet should look something like this... and then you can just change the input value and then click refresh and everything will update. There are formulaic solutions, but i feel those would be quite complex, unless someone has an efficient idea or can provide VBA code. Good luck.

    If Not b Is Nothing Then
        cell = b.Address
        Do
            ivalue.Offset(f, 1).Value = Cells(b.Row, "B")
            ivalue.Offset(f, 2).Value = Cells(1, b.Column)
            f = f + 1
            Set b = r.FindNext(b)

Nice one Marcelo. I was writing something similar to begin with (using ISUMBER and SEARCH), but I didn't think of doing the whole array (C2:E4), that never occurred to me (didn't know it could be done). Nice one.

Hi Marcelo.

Thank you so much for this post.
I was struggling with this situation and your formulas helped me a lot.
But, somehow, they don't work with my matrix table.
My table consists of alphanumeric values and these formulas only work (sort of) if I round the value to find to 2 decimals.

Are you willing to help me?

Best regards.

H.
