Hello,

I am looking for a couple formulas to solve this issue, but one would be even better. I took a two formula approach in the example below. 1st formula will find rows in column A that begin with a defined letter, such as "M" in the example below, and then return a value in a different column from that same row. Basically a vlookup, but specifying the starting letter of the lookup value instead of the entire cell value. This done in two columns next to each other (Step 1 - Columns F&G) and then I need a 2nd formula that takes columns F&G and consolidates them into two other columns (Step 2-Columns J&K). Columns A,B,C is the current state.

I have:

[TABLE="width: 768"]
<colgroup><col span="12"></colgroup><tbody>[TR]

Thank you!

I think changing the formula in F1 to below should work:

Code:
=IFERROR(INDEX(WhiteSheets!$F$1:$F$10402,SMALL(IF(MATCH(LEFT(WhiteSheets!$A$1:$A$10402)&WhiteSheets!$F$1:$F$10402,LEFT(WhiteSheets!$A$1:$A$10402)&WhiteSheets!$F$1:$F$10402,0)*(LEFT(WhiteSheets!$A$1:$A$10402)=$E$1)*(WhiteSheets!$F$1:$F$10402<>"")=(ROW(WhiteSheets!$A$1:$A$10402)-ROW(WhiteSheets!$A$1)+1),ROW(WhiteSheets!$A$1:$A$10402)-ROW(WhiteSheets!$A$1)+1),ROWS(F$1:F1))),"")

Please confirm with CSE


Thank you!
