Hi All,

This may be an impossible task so bear with me. I have the following raw data:
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 600"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Owner[/TD]
[TD]Account ID[/TD]
[TD]Industry[/TD]
[TD]Industry#[/TD]
[TD]Account #[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Joe[/TD]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD]Plumber[/TD]
[TD]Primary Industry[/TD]
[TD]Primary Account[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Joe[/TD]
[TD]2[/TD]
[TD]HVAC[/TD]
[TD]Secondary Industry[/TD]
[TD]Secondary Account[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Bob[/TD]
[TD]3[/TD]
[TD]Plumber[/TD]
[TD]Primary Industry[/TD]
[TD]Primary Account[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Bob[/TD]
[TD]4[/TD]
[TD]Electrician[/TD]
[TD]Secondary Industry[/TD]
[TD]Secondary Account[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Bob[/TD]
[TD]5[/TD]
[TD]Construction[/TD]
[TD]Tertiary Industry[/TD]
[TD]Tertiary Account[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Then I need to append it to this table:
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 900"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Owner[/TD]
[TD]Primary Industry[/TD]
[TD]Secondary Industry[/TD]
[TD]Tertiary Industry[/TD]
[TD]Primary Account[/TD]
[TD]Secondary Account[/TD]
[TD]Tertiary Account[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Joe[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Bob[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

So that it ends up looking like this:
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 900"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Owner[/TD]
[TD]Primary Industry[/TD]
[TD]Secondary Industry[/TD]
[TD]Tertiary Industry[/TD]
[TD]Primary Account[/TD]
[TD]Secondary Account[/TD]
[TD]Tertiary Account[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Joe[/TD]
[TD]Plumber[/TD]
[TD]HVAC[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD]2[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Bob[/TD]
[TD]Plumber[/TD]
[TD]Electrician[/TD]
[TD]Construction[/TD]
[TD]3[/TD]
[TD]4[/TD]
[TD]5[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

I was thinking I could use an index match match, but I'm not able to make it work. Anyone have any solutions? Maybe I need to rearrange the data? It's tough, because I'm writing SQL to pull the raw data the way it is, so I'm a bit limited in how I pull it. Thanks so much for your help.

Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
Hi. Try:

=IFERROR(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("industry",B$9)),INDEX($C$2:$C$6,MATCH(1,INDEX(($D$2:$D$6=B$9)*($A$2:$A$6=$A10),0),0)),INDEX($B$2:$B$6,MATCH(1,INDEX(($E$2:$E$6=B$9)*($A$2:$A$6=$A10),0),0))),"")

Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to enter array formulas.

fill both formulae across & down

Wow. Thanks for this. I've used many array formulas when doing Index Match with multiple criteria, but I've never seen id quite this way before. Would you possibly be able to explain exactly how the Match() funtion is working in this formula? Otherwise I would appreciate it if you could point me to a resource that could help. Thanks again!

If we consider the formula in H2
this ($A$2:$A$6=$G2) will return either true or false depending on if the values in A2:A6 equal G2 ie
TRUE;TRUE;FALSE;FALSE;FALSE
this ($D$2:$D$6=H$1) will do the same for col D & H1
TRUE;FALSE;TRUE,FALSE,FALSE
the * symbol coerces them to 1 where both are TRUE & 0 for the rest giving
1;0;0;0;0
The MATCH then matches the first 1 it finds (in the case the first value in the array)
so the formula then returns the 1st value in col C.

Something I find useful is to use "Evaluate Formula" on the formula tab.
