Hi

I have an excel query and i can not figure it out:

I have a list of names in column A and Dates along in Row 1. And under the dates by the names are zeros or BH (Bank Holiday), W (worked), H (Hol) & HF (Half Day Hol)

I am trying to get results by looking at the name i want to know when they have holiday (H) or half day holiday (HF)and to give me the date

For Example:

My Table look like:

01/01/19 02/01/2019 03/01/2019 04/01/2019
Tony H W 0 H
John 0 0 0 HF
Sarah 0 0 HF 0
David H H H H
Steve 0 0 0 0

And i would like my results to look like:

Tony 01/01/19, 04/01/2019
John 04/01/19
Sarah 03/01/19
David 01/01/19,02/01/19, 03/01/19, 04/01/19
Steve

Almost everything is possible in excel :)

PowerQuery add-in Excel 2010/2013
PowerQuery aka Get&Transform built-in Excel 2016 and higher

you need to wait for someone else for solution different than PQ

Have a nice day
