Automatically enter category into cell

Sorry, I do not know how to say this. I would like to see if there is a way to automatically enter the category name into a cell. (see image) I've manually put the category in the highlighted box but I'd like to see if there is a faster way?

Thank you

Hi Elgia,

There are several different ways to structure it. Here's one.

To get the Parent on other rows than the parent row you can use:

=PARENT([Category/Video Name]@row)

If it's on the same row as the parent you can use:

=[Category/Video Name]@row

It's also possible to combine them in one formula.

Let me know if you need it, and I'll give you that formula as well.

Would that work?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Index Distinct Support
I would like to parse out this data by creating a listing with a row for each person, for each project they appear on, for each month. I think this would only give me the groupings anyways, but this doesnt seem to even get me started - it popped up then people have disappeared.
