Not sure what formula to use. Currently I am using index match but whilst it is returning a result it is not quite returning what I want.

I have a table which contains the following info:

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Staff[/TD]
[TD]Reg 1[/TD]
[TD]Reg 2[/TD]
[TD]Reg 3[/TD]
[TD]Reg 4[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]AAB[/TD]
[TD]7.1/Rg[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]SAH[/TD]
[TD]7LA/Rg[/TD]
[TD]7LB/RG[/TD]
[TD]7.1/Rg[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]MAH[/TD]
[TD]9.7/Rg[/TD]
[TD]9BW/RG[/TD]
[TD]9BT/RG[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]AJA[/TD]
[TD]10W/Rg[/TD]
[TD]10H/Rg[/TD]
[TD]10M/RG[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

and so forth

What I need is a formula that matches a value say 7.1/Rg and returns the value from column A wherever reference is made to 7.1/Rg i.e. in this instance AAB and SAH to another sheet.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hello,

With cell F2 = 7.1/Rg

you could test in cell G2 the following Array Formula :

Code:
=IFERROR(INDIRECT("A"&SMALL(IF($A$1:$E$5=$F$2,ROW($A$1:$E$5)),ROWS($A$2:A2))),"")

and copy it down ...

Hope this will help

Let A1:E5 of Sheet1 house the data, including the headers.

Let A1 of Sheet2 house 7.1/Rg, the value to look for.

In A3 of Sheet2 control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:

=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$5,SMALL(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$5<>"",IF(Sheet1!$B$2:$E$5=$A$1,MATCH(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$5,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$5,0))),ROW(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$5)-ROW(Sheet1!$A$2)+1),ROW(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$5)-ROW(Sheet1!$A$2)+1),ROWS($A$3:A3))),"")

Thanks for posting James but couldn't make it work possibly was entering the formula wrong as my data is in two sheets?

sorry hit a snag it is returning the first value it comes across not all of them i.e. for 7.2/Rg it is returning a value NBR when I need it to return NBR and RBM.

Thanks

Are you addressing the proposal of post #3 ? By the way, there is no 7.2/Rg in the input data.

You are right ...

As you see it from the formula structure ...the formula posted is not designed for two sheets ...
