Good afternoon,
I've gone down rabbit hole to the point of overthinking...

I have a value "R" on sheet1.

I am looking for matching values of "R" in a table on another sheet (there may be more than one occurrence of "R" in that column). For each occurrence there will be an adjacent "O" value.
Now, each of those "O" values will apply to other "R" values other than the original "R" value.

I am after a string (textjoin) where the resultant "O" values in the first match reverse match one of the other associated "R" values which match yet another column value of "enterprise" (there may be more than one occurrence of these also). I want those "R" values in a string...

I do have the ability to add a helper column to the table if needed but prefer not if that's possible...

Hope this makes sense. Thanks for any help...

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.

Sorry, I can't seem to download xl2bb on my work computer. I have pasted data as text below if that works. If not, please don't bother with it.

Based on a 'Ref' value on adjacent sheet, my quest is to find a formula to manage the following:

Scenario 1:
Ref on other sheet = 1511.
This corresponds to Obj values 780 783 789 790 921 923 in my data
For EACH of those Obj values, I want to see if any subsequently LINK BACK to a Ref with type of 'enterprise'.
In this case, 780 links to an enterprise ref 4136, 783 to 4147, 789 to 4143, 790 to 4136 and 4144. Obj 921 and 923 do not have an equivalent 'enterprise' match.
I would like a string returned on original sheet "4136, 4147, 4143, 4136, 4144"

Scenario 2:
Ref on other sheet = 1507.
This corresponds to Obj value 786. There is no matching 'enterprise' value for that Obj.
Final string is blank.

I hope this makes sense..?

Thank you Eric. This works perfectly :). I just need to unpick it in my own brain to follow the logic... :LOL:
