Hi everyone,

Really struggling with this one and even Chat GPT failed me...
I'm also no excel expert but gave it go.....

I'm just looking for the right formula that can return a simple TRUE / FALSE in cells to right.


Objective:

I have a list of customer orders (col A), and the letters in (col N) associate to specific add-ons my team have also sold in the same order - 'O'.
L - This is the main product itself so is the primary product
O - This is the accessory sold with 'L' the primary product (They attached and sold an add-on - well done!)


The Help:
What formula (or best way) would mine all this long data list of orders and show me clearly - which primary products L, also has a secondary add-on on same order 'O'?
BUT
- I want the formula to exclude order numbers which only have 'O' alone in them, as this is just an accessory and not a primary product sale?

Any support welcome on this one.
I tried to show how far I got and it only every return the word 'FALSE' back.

Thanks in advance!

Excel Facts

Highlight Duplicates
Home, Conditional Formatting, Highlight Cells, Duplicate records, OK to add pink formatting to any duplicates in selected range.
How about
Excel Formula:
=AND(N2="L",COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,N:N,"O"))
Or do you just want a separate list of the orders with both L & O

Hi there,

I was thinking, is there a way to list them maybe on another tab without all the duplicates of order numbers showing?
Was think some sort of smart pivot table - but I'm basic level but can do these?

Or anything you would suggest to make this real easy to view in a list - I could then even work out attachment % if that's the case of accessories in orders!

What is the last row of your data?

You could try
Excel Formula:
=UNIQUE(FILTER(A2:A300000,BYROW(A2:A300000,LAMBDA(br,SUM(SIGN(COUNTIFS(A:A,br,N:N,{"l","O"})))))=2))
But it will be slow for that amount of data.
Power query might be a better option, but don't know it can be done that way.
