Hi All:

After unsuccessfully searching for how this could/should be done, I am here to beg for some assistance. :)

I have 2 sheets. A Daily Sheet and a Change Order Sheet. The Daily ID is the Primary on the Daily Sheet while the Daily ID on the Change Order sheet is a user entered column if/when a Change Order for a Daily is in need.

However, a Change Order can be for multiple Dailies and the Change Order Status is to be reported back to the Daily Sheet with the Change Order Status. I have attached a picture of an example of what I am looking to accomplish.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi @John Jonassen

    Hope you are fine, please try the following formula:

    =IFERROR(INDEX(COLLECT({Change Order Range}, {Daily ID}, CONTAINS([Daily ID]@row, @cell)), 1), "")
