Need help finding a result in a table (array? maybe simpler?)...

[thp510]

For Worksheet_1, I have the following table below across columns A to G and on rows 1 to 15 in excel. As you can see, it shows which person owns which segment (SMB, ENT, GROWTH, COM) based on their state. So for example the person that owns ENT in MT is Kelly (cell G3) or the person that owns SMB in NY is Lucas (cell C10). Multiple people can own the same state but not the same state and segment--that combination is unique (for example: both Phil and Jessica own CO, but Phil is an SMB person and Jessica is an ENT person).

I need to find a formula in Column C that can search in Worksheet_1 based on the State in Column A and Segment in Column B in Worksheet_1. So for example, in cell C2 (CO ENT) the results should be Jessica. For cell C6, it would be Sue.Any advice on a formula I can use in column C?

Maybe something like this.

Thanks Ahoy. However, my original is a small sample size so I actually have more states and segments (more than just ENT and SMB). This means I would have to make additional nested IF statements (at least 7 more). Is there a better way than to make a long IF statement?

Try:
This formula assumes that the State column will always be 2 columns back from the Segment column.
This is also an array formula that must be entered with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER.
Drag formula down as needed.

Perfect! Thank you so much!!!

 

[Peter_SSs]

Perfect! Thank you so much!!!

Note that it does require that all instances of a segment heading are in the same column. That is, if the first "SMB" is in column C, then all "SMB" headings must be in column C, but that looks like it is the case for you anyway.

 

[AhoyNC]

You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback. As pointed out by Peter it also assumes that your header rows all be in the same order or the formula will fail.
