I have a list of names and all the countries. Column 1 is filled with names and the following columns represent all the countries of the world. In each row, there's an 'X' under the country that person has visited.
On another tab, I'm listing some of these names using the formula FILTER. In the following column I'd like to list every country where there's an 'X' for that person.
For example, in Cell A3, I have this formula: =FILTER(Table1[Name, first name];Table1[Age]=“20-25”;””), which gives Thomas. In Cell B3, I want all the countries where Thomas has an 'X', so that in Cell U3, I will get: Belgium, Tanzania, Poland.
 

Excel Facts

Excel Can Read to You
Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
Can you post some sample data.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data that will allow us to copy/paste it to our Excel spreadsheets, so we can work with the same copy of data that you are. Instructions on using this tool can be found here: XL2BB Add-in

Note that there is also a "Test Here” forum on this board. This is a place where you can test using this tool (or any other posting techniques that you want to test) before trying to use those tools in your actual posts.

I don't understand what you are asking, originally you wanted to return the name of the countries.

When I enter your formula I don't return the countries but the cells are filled with number like in my previous response

Are you saying that you don't get the names of the countries with the formula I suggested?
