Hi and good evening,how would I perform a lookup on 1 unique "date time value" in columns D and F and return their matches from columns C or E all sorted from oldest to newest (like finished Data Set below).Times and Dates in columns D and F are formatted as "ddd-dd-mmm-yy hh:mm".Also I would like to ask is it possible to use the SMALL formula on multiple sheet ranges in a workbook.
Thanking You In Advance.

Power Query: 
// Table1
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    Extract1 = Table.TransformColumns(Source, {{"Machine Stop (1)", each Text.AfterDelimiter(_, "-"), type text}}),
    Replacw1 = Table.ReplaceValue(Extract1,"19","2019",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Machine Stop (1)"}),

or with one step:

Power Query: 
// Query1
let
    Source1 = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    Source2 = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    ROC1 = Table.SelectColumns(Source1,{"Machine ID", "Size", "Batch (1)", "Machine Stop (1)"}),
    Extract1 = Table.TransformColumns(ROC1, {{"Machine Stop (1)", each Text.AfterDelimiter(_, "-"), type text}}),
    Replace1 = Table.ReplaceValue(Extract1,"19","2019",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Machine Stop (1)"}),
    Rename1 = Table.RenameColumns(Replace1,{{"Batch (1)", "Batch"}, {"Machine Stop (1)", "Machine Stop"}}),
    ROC2 = Table.SelectColumns(Source2,{"Machine ID", "Size", "Batch (2)", "Machine Stop (1)2"}),
    Extract2 = Table.TransformColumns(ROC2, {{"Machine Stop (1)2", each Text.AfterDelimiter(_, "-"), type text}}),
    Replace2 = Table.ReplaceValue(Extract2,"-19","-2019",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Machine Stop (1)2"}),
    Rename2 = Table.RenameColumns(Replace2,{{"Batch (2)", "Batch"}, {"Machine Stop (1)2", "Machine Stop"}}),
    Finish = Table.Combine({Rename1, Rename2}),
    Type = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Finish,{{"Machine Stop", type datetime}}),
    Sort = Table.Sort(Type,{{"Machine Stop", Order.Ascending}})
in
    Sort

result is the same as in previous post

on the end set custom format for Machine Stop column

I prefer sandy's approach or unpivoting/repivoting via the wizard in excel. There are formula solutions though:

Hi sheetspread, all i can say is excellent, i must say i have learned a lot from your various methods of using the IFERROR and INDEX functions and especially the combination of the SMALL and CHOOSE functions. This opened up up a lot of ideas to me from your approach to this solution.
