Searching through the children rows
I'm trying to write a function that searches through the children rows of parent rows and if one of the rows meet a condition ( "In-Use" ) in the use column, it'll display a name in the User column on the parent row to show who is the current user of a particular asset. I've been trying to use CHILDREN, DESCENDANTS, etc... but I can't come up with a function to make this happen.
Any suggestions would be very helpful!
Thank you,
Hunter G.

Hi Hunter,
Try something like this.
=INDEX(CHILDREN(User@row); MATCH("In-Use"; CHILDREN(Use@row); 0))
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=INDEX(CHILDREN(User@row), MATCH("In-Use", CHILDREN(Use@row), 0))
Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Did it work?
Have a fantastic weekend!

Hey Again,
That worked great! I just want to try and format it and see if I can get it to say Decommissioned instead of #NO MATCH just for ease of use.
Thank you very much,
Hunter G.

Excellent!
Happy to help!
To change the message to Decommissioned we only need to add an IFERROR function like below.
Try something like this.
=IFERROR(INDEX(CHILDREN(User@row); MATCH("InUse"; CHILDREN(Use@row); 0)); "Decommissioned")
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=IFERROR(INDEX(CHILDREN(User@row), MATCH("InUse", CHILDREN(Use@row), 0)), "Decommissioned")
Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.

Hello,
I am trying to perform a similar function however when I apply the same logic, I'm getting #UNPARSEABLE. I am trying to show the NEXT MOVE DATE on the parent row of a child row when the Trailer Status is "Current Client"
Here is my Formula
=INDEX(CHILDREN(NEXT MOVE DATE@row,MATCH("Current Client",CHILDREN(Trailer Status]@row,0))
-
Got this figured out, looks like i was missing the brackets around the columns.
=INDEX(CHILDREN([NEXT MOVE DATE]@row), MATCH("Current Client", CHILDREN([Trailer Status]@row), 0))
