I have data that represent a child parent relationship from Salesforce - account and contact. Every row contains an account id which would be the value to "group by."

Each row contains several contact specific fields, and also the account id. The goal is to find all accounts (or at the account level) where none of the contacts contain the string "Statement Delivery" in the Contact Role field / column. E.G. if there are 20 contacts that all have the same account id value, and none of them contain "Statement Delivery" in the contact role column, I want to flag or tag that account some how.

This is a multi select picklist field so strings are separated by ;

I'm not even sure where to start, but hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
the words/codes in the Let statment are:
header, the header row of column titles.
data, the entire data being sorted
lfs look for string (that you want to exclude)
cr, the contact role column
ai, account ID column
excludes, the records that need to be excluded (matched to the look for string)
includes, the records that do not match the look for string
body, is the data after it is filtered.
Thank you for the explanation. I tried to apply to my larger dataset and I couldn't get it to work. I think this problem may just be over my basic excel skills, even with help.

ah,we will get it. I'll try to configure that statement to your column letters, but you'll need to adjust your row numbers.

What column is contact ID in? It is not visible in your pictures. It is only in the miniworkbook with columns A,B,C.

I appreciate all the help. I was able to figure out a more straight forward solution and I'll post in case it's useful to anyone else.

Basic steps were:
  1. Get list of all unique account id's in new worksheet.
  2. Use the following formula to search for "Statement Delivery" in Contact Role Column and return 1 if found, 0 otherwise.
    1. =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Statement Delivery",B2)),1,0)
  3. In the new sheet with unique accounts, use formula to sum all values using the account as the key.
    1. =SUMIF('Contacts and Accounts contact r'!C:C,Sheet1!A2,'Contacts and Accounts contact r'!D:D)
