Formula to pull data from a multi-value column
I need help figuring out how I can use formulas to populate a column that is referencing a multi-value column. I am hoping someone can assist. I have the following two sheets--"Resource List" and "Crew/Resource Assignment."
Resource List: The Team Members on the other sheet are in a multiple contact list. On this sheet, I want to auto-populate the Crew # column from the other sheet. I am showing the two formulas I have tried to accomplish this. Thoughts?
Crew/Resource Assignment: Here I want to pull the skills listed on the "Resource List" sheet for each team member. For example, the first two Names on the Resource List are assigned to Crew #1. So the skills here should show A, B, C, D (and a second C, if necessary). I am hoping that this can be done similarly to the previous solution.
I appreciate any help that anyone can lend here. It is baffling me!

Try using a JOIN/COLLECT combo to join all of the cells together based on the matches (HAS function should work for that). If you put the formula into a multi-select dropdown, it will filter out any duplicates and you should get "A, B, C, D" instead of "A, B, C, C, D"
