    Are you able to provide screenshots (sample data if necessary) for context?

  • Yes.

    Sheet 1 - Stakeholder Engagement Matrix- If the Box in the first column is checked, I want to move the email address to sheet 2.

    Sheet 2- Email should go in column labeled Client Stakeholders

    We can help with a formula to pull the data over, but without knowing any criteria other than the checkbox it is hard to say exactly. I'll provide a formula and explain it, and if you need something else please let us know.

    • Create this formula in Client Stakeholders =IF({Sign Off Document 1}=1,{Email 1})

    So this formula uses an inter-sheet reference to check and see if the Sign Off Document field from Sheet 1 is checked ("=1") and if so uses a second reference to bring the email over.

    I would guess though that you need some other reference (Project name or number) to correlate Sheet 2 to the entry on Sheet 1. If that is the case, you could easily create a column formula that does this. That formula (built assuming you want to use the Project Name) would look like this:

    • =IFERROR(IF(INDEX({Sign Off Document Range}, MATCH([Project]@row, {Project Range}, 0))=1, INDEX({Email Range}, MATCH([Project]@row, {Project Range}, 0))),"")

    This would go in Client Stakeholders on Sheet 2 as a column formula and you would need to create the references from Sheet 1.

    Hope this helps!

    How do we know which row to put each email address in?
