    Index-Match: Increasing the column count through a vertical autofill

    So I am putting togther a process matrix template for a Value stream analysis. I would use brute for and simple tricks to make this work but I am handing it off in two weeks to a student and I want this to be as strait forward and as easy to use as possible.


    ________C_______D_______E________F______G___
    _____Part#1___Part#2___Part#3___Part#4___Part#5
    Drill 1___1_______2________0_______3_______0__
    Drill 2___0_______3________0_______1_______1__
    Drill 3___0_______0________0_______4_______2__
    Lathe 1__0_______1________1_______0_______0__
    Lathe 2__1_______4________4_______0_______1__
    Lathe 3__0_______0________5_______1_______0__

    The first worksheet has a list of about 180 machines running vertically, and enough space for 20-50 part numbers to plugged in running horizontally across the top. The next three worksheets have the machines organized and grouped together by processes. I planned to use an Index-Match such as =INDEX('Individual Machines'!D$6:D$194,MATCH("Drill 1",'Individual Machines'!$C$6:$C$194,0))

    The goal would be to get the user manually fill in the first worksheet, and then allow the user to use the vertical autofill function to fill in data on the later worksheets. This would provide a flexible template that can be re-used for different and various product families.

    So populate something like this with a downward autofill for the number of times the part# hits a machine.


    _______Drill 1___Lathe 2___Lathe 3___
    Part#1___1________1________0____
    Part#2___2________4________0____
    Part#3___0________4________5____
    Part#4___3________0________1____
    Part#5___0________0________1____

    Re: Index-Match: Increasing the column count through a vertical autofill

    Assuming the cell under Drill 1 and on the same row as Part#1 in your second table is B2, then you can use this formula in that cell:

    =INDEX('Individual Machines'!$D$6:$AZ$194,MATCH(B$1,'Individual Machines'!$C$6:$C$194,0),MATCH($A2,'Individual Machines'!$D$5:$AZ$5,0))

    Then copy this down and across as required.

    Hope this helps.

    Pete

    Oh wow this is exactly what I needed. Thank you very much!!

    I was not aware that you could use two match functions inside of a index like that.
