Pulling from Multi-Select to populate under appropriate line in another sheet

Hello,

I am using the attached formula to try and ensure that I can expand the formula (currently has a 1:1 from a Project plan with RACI into a RACI Matrix with tasks associated to users) so that rather than creating a duplicate row for every person responsible (from a group) I wanted to change it to a multi select and have it function the same way. I have tried HAS but is not updating correctly.

So the flow is: Project template with tasks and named resource to work on the task then populates a RACI matrix.

The first picture is the current logic

Below is what the reference project plan looks like

If it is a single name then it presents like this with the names in a separate column as resource:

Reading up on HAS it should look for the one to many and pull them over into the RACI correct? Or am I missing the part where each value creates it's own row?

Thanks in advance

    Below is an example of how you would use the HAS function to accomplish what you need (add additional if formulas as needed).

    =IF(HAS(VLOOKUP([Track 1]$1, {Project Plan - Template Range 1}, 2, 0), Resource@row), "R")
