I'm looking for 1 of the 3 types of statuses (Not Started, Pending, Approved) according to the project ID, project Name, and the current phase Define (in header) from worksheet 1 and value to be returned in worksheet 2



Worksheet 1 - formula in cell C2
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[TD="align: center"]A[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]B[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]C[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Column Headers[/TD]
[TD]Project ID #[/TD]
[TD]Project Name[/TD]
[TD]Define QA Status[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]310122[/TD]
[TD]Money Service[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]?[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
Looking for "Approved" in cell C2


Worksheet 2 - Source Data
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="align: center"]A[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]B[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]C[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]D[/TD]

[TR]
[TD]310122[/TD]
[TD]Money Service[/TD]
[TD]Not Started[/TD]
[TD]Define Yr End[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

*"Define Yr" End is not the same as "Define", looking for status of "Define" only.*


So, to reiterate, in worksheet 1 cell C2, looking to return the "Approved" Status for Define for Project 310122 Money Service.


Appreciate any assistance!

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Try this for a start

=INDEX('Worksheet 2'!$C$2:$C$6,MATCH(1,INDEX(('Worksheet 2'!$A$2:$A$6=A2)*('Worksheet 2'!$B$2:$B$6=B2)*('Worksheet 2'!$D$2:$D$6="Define"),0),0))

Will need more detail on how you get the 'Phase' out of the header in C1, for now "Define" is hard coded in the formula.

A similar formula:

=LOOKUP(1,1/((Sheet2!$A$2:$A$6=A2)*(Sheet2!$D$2:$D$6=LEFT($C$1,SEARCH(" QA",$C$1&" QA")-1))),Sheet2!$C$2:$C$6)

I assumed I didn't need to look for both A2 and B2, since they appear to have a 1-1 relationship. I also was unsure how you wanted to get "Define" from the C1 cell, I used the LEFT(SEARCH construct to find whatever's on the left of QA.

Hmm, you both may be right, what if I edited the column headers accordingly, it will ultimately include other phase types, for which I will need to return the statuses of each, I added another column for insight. So ultimately I am looking for "Approved" in cell C2 and "Pending" in cell D2 in worksheet 1...

Great, then you can just put the cell reference there instead of the hard coded "define"

=INDEX('Worksheet 2'!$C$2:$C$6,MATCH(1,INDEX(('Worksheet 2'!$A$2:$A$6=A2)*('Worksheet 2'!$B$2:$B$6=B2)*('Worksheet 2'!$D$2:$D$6=C$1),0),0))

A similar adjustment to my formula:

=LOOKUP(1,1/((Sheet2!$A$2:$A$6=$A2)*(Sheet2!$D$2:$D$6=C$1)),Sheet2!$C$2:$C$6)

place in C2 and drag down and to the right as needed.
