Hi,

I am trying to find the way to obtain a list of values in same cell, based on 2 conditions.
I seem to be struggling with the right way based on below formula:

=TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,UNIQUE(FILTER(ColumnB,(ColumnA=A2)*(ColumnC="Yes"),"")))

for some reason i obtain only 1 result instead of as in example below:

ABCD
Item1Country1YesCountry1, Country5
Item2Country2No
Item3Country3Yes
Item4Country4No
Item1Country5YesCountry1, Country5
Item2Country6No
Item3Country7Yes
Item4Country8No
Item1Country9No
Item2Country10No
Item3Country11Yes
Item4Country12No


thanks in advance!
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
item 3 in row 3 , that has a YES , why has than not returned some results

=TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,UNIQUE(FILTER($B$2:$B$100,(($A$2:$A$100=A2)*($C$2:$C$100="Yes")),"")))

hi, thanks from prompt reply.
item 3 in row 3 indeed has Yes, i was just making some example manually so it was easy to understand my explanation in case of not being clear.
you are right about the result that should have.

So can it be that my mistake, is instead of using a range B2:B100, i am using the whole column? when i click on the cell, instead of B2, is appears the title of the column.
Does it make any difference for this purpose?
If apply formula using columns from table, i get single results, it wont join anything.

Excel Formula:
=TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,UNIQUE(FILTER([ColumnB],(([ColumnA]=A2)*([ColumnC]="Yes")),"")))

And if i apply your formula (using ranges) i will get results even when there is "No"... does it make sense?

i tried adding starter condition as maybe workaround... does it make sense?

Excel Formula:
=IF([ColumnC]="Yes",TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,UNIQUE(FILTER(B2:B100,((A2:A100=A2)*(C2:C100="Yes")),""))),"")

it still works - with full column reference A:A etc
But i prefer to just use a range , as in excel using A:A is a huge range

not sure on tables - i tend to get mixed results and often just use a range

BUT - i have tried and seems ok

NO, but look at the brackets , just to ensure they are the same as mine

No need to do that - it should work as i have written

Solution
Ok I just realized what was going on.
Its giving me results in lines where Item is even No or Empty, but just because that same item has at some place a country and Yes, so it provides me that country with yes, for all equal items.
All good. Took me a bit to realize my own logic :D

Thanks a lot for the support etaf!
