Hello

In a file with several columns one of which is the ID column, I want to populate a list of IDs that are specific matches (eg COUNTIF matches).

The problem is that the matches can be 0,1,2,3 etc.

How can I do that?

Hi,

Have you tried using the Advanced filter in excel? This will generate a new list of results depending on a criteria you determine.

Can you show an example of what you are trying to achieve?

It's simple:

A;B;C;D
3;5;6;1
6;2;4;6
2;6;7;8

I want to return the list of A that have C= 6 or 4
So I want the list of A=3 and A=6

But this list in different files, may be 0 entries or 5 or 100.
How do I return this dynamic list?

I was wondering if I can use INDEX/MATCH and somehow return the first, second, third instance so that my vertical list will be populated by the entries and will go as down as needed each time.

But I don't think that is possible, any other solution?

Note. Replace the semi-colon with comma if you are on an American system.

Thanks, I tried to make it a bit simpler but it doesn't work:
{=INDEX(UDE!$B:$B,1,SMALL(IF(AND(UDE!$AC:$AC="Awaiting",OR(UDE!$A:$A="Hubs",UDE!$A:$A="Branches")),ROW(UDE!$B:$B)-MIN(ROW(UDE!$B:$B))+1),$O$4:O4))}
Any help please?

Thanks, but I don't want it to work only on UDE!$B$2:$B$400, but on UDE!$B:$B
