Hello experts,

I am looking for assistance with my formula. I am using an index/small formula in the following scenario:

I am pasting raw data into Tab A, which includes status (example: Active, Inactive), and additional rows of data.
In Tab B, is a summary table, that pulls rows of data from Tab A.

In Tab A, there are multiple rows of Active, Inactive. What I want the formula to do is return the first instance row of Active, and as I drag down the formula, it will return the next example row of Active, etc.

This is the formula I have been trying to work with:

=INDEX(Sheet4!$B$2:$B$100, SMALL(IF(Sheet4!$F$2:$F$100=$B$4, ROW(Sheet4!$F$2:$F$100)-ROW(Sheet4!$F$2:$F$100)+1), 1))

where I use $B$4 as a reference cell for the status (Active, Inactive)
Sheet4 is the tab where I paste the raw data
The issue I run into is that it returns the first row, regardless of if it meets the criteria of the status being active. Hoping for assistance on where I am going wrong with my formula. Hope this is clear:

Summary page with the above formula (as you can see it returns the first row despite the status not matching, and as I drag down the formula, it returns the same value:

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
Here's your issue:

=INDEX(Sheet4!$B$2:$B$100, SMALL(IF(Sheet4!$F$2:$F$100=$B$4, ROW(Sheet4!$F$2:$F$100)-ROW(Sheet4!$F$2:$F$100)+1), 1))

should be:

=INDEX(Sheet4!$B$2:$B$100, SMALL(IF(Sheet4!$F$2:$F$100=$B$4, ROW(Sheet4!$F$2:$F$100)-ROW(Sheet4!$F$2)+1), ROWS(C$6:C6))

Also, please update your profile with the version of Excel you're using. This would be much easier with the FILTER function available in newer versions.

Try. ARRAY formula in B6 copied to full range.
Excel Formula:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet4!B$2:B$100, SMALL(IF(Sheet4!$F$2:$F$100=$B$4, ROW(Sheet4!$F$2:$F$100),""), ROWS($B$6:$B6))-ROW($F$1)),"")
Normal formula in B6 copied to full range.
Excel Formula:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet4!B$2:B$100, AGGREGATE(15,6, ROW(Sheet4!$F$2:$F$100)/(Sheet4!$F$2:$F$100=$B$4),ROWS($B$6:$B6))-ROW($F$1)),"")
NOTE:
To enter ARRAY formula
Copy and paste the formula in cell
Press F2
Press Ctrl+Shift+Enter together
Excel covers the formula with {}.

This also worked. Opted to go without the array, but good to know this works too. Thank you!
