Hello,

I'm a novice Excel user, but know basic formulas, but this need is stumping me.

Need to find a formula to automate 100's of product image names based on the product SKU. I have a SKU number, imagename.jpg in 2 columns and need to have that list of individual SKUs in a new column with the corresponding images associated with that SKU. Each SKU has a different number of images. The image names have the SKU number in the name. I can Transpose the different SKUs in separate columns but I don't know how to set a formula to go to the next column once there is no more images with that SKU in the name.

I was thinking this could be done with VLOOKUP, INDEX and MATCH and/or IF formulas as combined functions.

Your expertise would be greatly appreciated!

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.

Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
In E3 copied down & across
=IFERROR(INDEX($C$2:$C$30,AGGREGATE(15,6,(ROW($C$2:$C$30)-ROW($C$2)+1)/(--LEFT($C$2:$C$30,8)=E$2),ROWS($C$1:$C1))),"")

Thanks you for your quick reply Fluff.

I tried your lengthy formula in E3 and the result was blank. Do I need to do a special return like Shift+Option+Return?

I tried copying down and across with nothing showing.

I really hope this can work.

Thank you for your help!

It's a normal formula so doesn't require CSE.

This is what I get with your sample data

Only shown the first two, otherwise it's too wide to fit the post.

Thinking about it. Do you have the SKU numbers in E2, F2 etc?

That's what I would like. I noticed that the row 1 was deleted on your images. I had some titles. Does that matter?

Mine is still blank with a simple return.
Your images that you posted gives me hope that it will work. Wow
Thanks! Jay

In E2 & fill right
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$30,MATCH(0,INDEX(COUNTIF($D2:D2,$A$2:$A$30),0),0)),"")
This will give you the SKU numbers for the other formula to use.

OK, I got it working!

For more columns I just change the Column letter:
E$2),ROWS($C$1:$C1))),"")
F$2),ROWS($C$1:$C1))),"")
G$2),ROWS($C$1:$C1))),"")
.etc.

I'll let you know if there is anything else! Much appreciated!

THANK YOU!
Jay

You're welcome & thanks for the feedback.

You don't need to change the column letters.
You can simply drag the formula to the right & everything will sort itself out.
