INDEX/COLLECT Formula for gathering list of data

KayHays

Hi, I am not sure if INDEX, MATCH or COLLECT will be the right things to use in this formula but I'm very much a beginner in using those functions.

On Sheet 1 I have a massive list of Restaurants (Column 1: Restaurant Name). Also on that sheet is Column 2: Division (For example Tampa Bay Restaurant is in the Southern Division).

On Sheet 2 I have a list of those Divisions in Column 1: Division. On Sheet 2 Column 2: Restaurants in Division, is where I would like a formula that looks at Sheet 1 and collects every restaurant name that is in the Division listed on Sheet 2 Column 1.

I've done a fair bit with INDEX/MATCH functions but nothing with COLLECT yet. Anyone have any ideas on how this could be done?

Hi All, I figured out a JOIN/COLLECT Formula would be best for this. I have the formula working as follows with carriage return between each value (CHAR(10)).

SHEET 2 COLUMN 2 Restaurants in Division =JOIN(COLLECT({Sheet1RestaurantName}, {Sheet1Division}, Division@row), CHAR(10))
