Dear friends . Im the HOD in a college having given the task of preparing an invigilation scheme for the forthcoming exams. i prepared a sheet and in cells A1 to A12 I insert the time. 8.15 - 9.00, 9.00-9.35,.. representing the invigilation schedule for each teacher. now in cells B1 to B7 I insert the classes as venue. ROOM 1 ROOM 2 ...ETC. IT becomes now a table where a teacher can find his name and the time and venue to invigilate. up to here its good. i now prepared in cell which has a drop down of a list of teachers. as one teacher name is selected i use this formula down the name
=IFERROR(INDEX($V$292:$V$303,SMALL(IF($B$584=$X$292:$AA$303,ROW($V$292:$V$303)-ROW($V$292)+1),ROW(1:1))),"")
this is an array formula which when i press cont shift enter it gives me the time the teacher will invigilate. superb up to here.
my problem starts here i want to make another cell next to it to bring now the venue. but the VENUE IN MY TABLE IN IN HORIZONTAL FORMAT AND THE FORMULA DONT WORK HERE.
PLEASE HELP.
END RESULT SHOULD BE IN ONE CELL THE TIME APPEARS AND NEXT TO IT THE VENUE.
THE TABLE GIVEN ABOVE IS ONLY FOR THS EXPLANATION ELSE ITS MUCH BIGGER AND LARGER
