Hi Everyone!
So I've got an issue that I can't seem to find a solution for. What I need is to generate a cell that shows the Open Jobs (non-closed). With TextJoin function I can put them all in the same cell, however I'm struggling to generate the unique list because I need to remove Closed Jobs. I can make a unique list of Started Jobs and Closed Jobs (using uniquevalues function from morefunc). Unfortunately, I can't seem to subtract one from the other...so to speak.
Below we have a table showing how we track our Work In Progress (WIP). As you can see each Job has a unique number and multiple activities. How do we make a list of the Started Jobs and remove the Closed Jobs? Also, I don't think using the advanced filter is an option as I need this to update as users populate the status of jobs. VBA is an option but because of other code being used, it could very well act funky.
Thank you very much in advance.
