    IFERROR: Aligning text left and right

    The formula I am using is

    =IFERROR(INDEX(Data!A:A & " " & Data!B:B,SMALL(IF(Data!$E$1:$E$100="SP",IF(Data!$F$1:$F$100="Ready for Advancement",ROW($A$1:$A$100),""),""),ROW(A1))),"")

    What I'm trying to do is have the first part Data!A:A align to the left and Data!B:B align to the right. I can't think of any way to do this other than using spaces like " ". The problem is I don't want to have to adjust the amount of spaces for every cell manually.

    I have attached an example excel sheet and hope someone can help me.

    Thank you all!

    You cannot use formulas for alignment.

    1 (messy) way around this would be to split that formula into 2 parts, then test the length of each part and subtract that from 18 (column B currently allows 18 a's in it - then add that many spaces (using REPT() ). This will mean that you will need to use each part twice
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

    Re: IFERROR: Aligning text left and right

    This is really a data layout problem. I suggest you redesign your worksheet to put these two pieces of data in separate columns. I have done this in columns B:G to illustrate.

    Your formulas are not all consistent so I'm not sure they are doing what you want, but this shows the idea of breaking them up into two cells and formatting separately.
