  • @Paul Newcome I've been hunting for this explanation and reading your response has unfortunately not helped. I'm trying to do the same thing. You commented on a question I asked poorly earlier, so I think seeing this example should help achieve to the solution I'm hunting for. I need to take the All Projects column and move it just like above. I'm not trying to match 1's though, I'm trying to match the Branches names. The BR01: xxxxxx information.

    What can I do to make this work for me?

  • In the thread this comment was originally on, the requestor was compiling prices dependent upon the matching months and putting it on a separate sheet. The formula was also drag-able. I'm needing to do virtually the same thing with different column data. I'm trying to compile project types {2024 All Projects} from a branch {2024 Branches} on the new sheet.

    I've tried this and get #invalid value:

    =INDEX({2024 All Projects}, MATCH(Branches@row, {2024 Branches}, 0), 21)

    I tried this and get #No Match:

    =MATCH(Branches@row, {2024 Branches}, 1)

    I made this based off of your response to the previous thread and I got #Incorrect Argument Set:

    =IFERROR(INDEX(COLLECT({2024 All Projects}, {2024 Branches}, Branches@row = {2024 Branches})), "")

    This is the target sheet. The screenshot above is what I'm trying to pull from.
