Index/Match from multiple selction drop down, bring in selections to other sheet
Hello, this has been asked a lot but I can't find a similar scenario.
I have a database with SKU, in the approvals column of the row each SKU has multiple approvals listed based on drop-down selections.
I have a change request sheet where changes against the SKU are requested. I need the change request sheet to index the approvals and match it to the SKU. When I set it up, it pulls in all the selections from the reference sheet into the change sheet as one string, but I need them to remain separated so I can generate reports from the change sheet.
As you can see below, the top screen shoot is what I m indexing and matching the SKU. When it pulls it into the sheet they become a string. So if I try to generate a report with a filter on the approval section it will not work. The filter does not see Gov A and Gove B separately, it sees them as one string "Gov A Gov B." And that doesn't work for me.

Ho hum,
I just think you need to change the column type in your destination sheet to multi-select dropdown.
Cheers.
