Can I populate a multi select contact list off of what is selected in a multi select drop down?
I would like to populate a multi select contact list in the Master Sheet below based on what is selected in a multi select drop down (Project Requirements). The Lookup Sheet on the right lists what should be populated based on what is selected.
It's only reading ONE project requirement. Any assistance would be greatly appreciate.
Thank you in advance,
Joyce

There's only one way I've gotten this to work. It's not pretty, but it does what you want. You need to add to your lookup every combination of Requirement # values with their assigned resources:
Row 7:
Requirement 1 Joyce
Requirement 2 Tom
Requirement 3 Billy James
Row 8:
Requirement 4 Mary
Requirement 5 Joyce
Requirement 6 Billy
Row 9:
Requirement 2 Tom
Requirement 4 Mary
Requirement 6 Billy
etc:
Then use a standard INDEX/MATCH on your master sheet:
=IFERROR(INDEX({Lookup Sample - IT Resource}, MATCH([Project Requirements]@row, {Lookup Sample - Requirements}, 0)), "")
My testing:
