Hello there! I have an NBA Fantasy spreadsheet which I use for scheduling and analysis.

There are 5 basic positions namely: PG (Point Guard), SG (Shooting Guard), SF (Small Forward), PF (Power Forward), C (Center). A player can have 1 or more designated positions. For example, Steph Curry is PG only, Luka Doncic is PGSG, Brandon Ingram is SGSFPF, etc.
The maximum number of players in my fantasy team is 8 players. Only those players who have games for a specific day should be plotted for that day. Priority is given to PG, then SG, then SF, then PF, and lastly to C position. For example, if there is only 1 player with PGSG position playing for a specific day, only the PG position is to be filled. If there are 2 PGSG positions and 1 PFC position, only the PG, SG, and PF positions are to be filled. What I need is a formula to automatically fill the player positions in Table 1 to Table 2.

I tried using conditional statements and wildcards to capture all possible scenarios but to no avail. Thank you in advance for your help!

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
