I pull data from an application into multiple .csv files. A couple of these pulls, based on the fields selected (Follow-up by and Description) cause the rows for one event to multiply (attachment). I need to consolidate all the rows for the same event into one row. The attached has a formula I used recently that worked for another sheet but what I was worried about is that the formula I use to "count" the # of times an event is present and the reference column in my vlookup is now making my results capture events that are not appropriate.
So in the attached you will see for example File ID 6 captures the correct follow up comments and description (color coded yellow) but File ID 61 overlaps (color coded blue).
What I ultimately need is for the description to be tagged to the person who made the comment and if there is a second or third or fourth etc for those to be tagged to the individual. Then ultimately pulled together in one column at the far end, combining all of them so when I pull it all into access they appear in the same cell. The largest count of one event I've found to date is 14 so that is why I have up to 14 across row1.
what i left out in col U would be the if then stmt that would look for a value in each column and if something exists put it there and separate it with a colon, then my import sheet would use a vlookup and of course the first one it finds would be all I need for the import.
Hope this makes sense.
Unfortunately i'm going to be away for the next couple hours so I cannot respond to any questions or solutions. Thanks all.
