Hello,

I wonder if anybody can help me out.

I am trying to get employees names based on their skills columns and return their names as a result in two different tables as a distinct unique values.
I was able to do this so far with Index, Match and Countif array formula but it only works for one skills column and I cannot figure it out how to do it if there are more skills columns.

Basically if employee has two skills allocated then as a result they would show up on both tables. Please see example of the table below and required results.

[TABLE="width: 200"]

Thank you very much. It works like a charm.

Thank you it is much appreciated.
