Hi there!
First post here, but have been visiting now and again for hints and tips.
I'm responsible for organising our Xmas lunch this year so I have created a spreadsheet. Tab 1 has all the menu choices. It has the names of the attendees going down in Column B. In Columns C to O going across are the food options from the venue's menu.
Then I have populated the rows in these columns (C to O) with a "1" to indicate each attendee's food choice. There will also be blanks in each column where that particular food option has not been chose by an attendee.
What I want to do is create a simple food order sheet (in a separate tab) so I can hand to the venue. Excel will read down each column (C to O) on the Menu choices tab and where there is a 1 in that particular column (i.e. for the starters) to get the value of the attendee's name and paste it into the food order sheet. Obviously many people may choose the same starter, main & dessert - so for each type of starter, main and dessert I would like it to concatenate the values of each attendee who has ordered each type of food.
Does that make sense? I have tried various combinations of VLOOKUP and also Index Match statements, but I can't get it to work.
Please help!
