    List data base having one field as title

    Hey, guys. What's up?

    I've been trying to create a list, with formulas, based on a table (data base). One of the fields of the table must be used as a title, separating records related to it.

    I've attached my spreadsheet for a better explanation. You'll see I've already come across something (sheets Test1 and Test2), however it's still not exactly what I really need.

    Please, could you help me do it?

    Obs.: For particular reasons, I can not use VBA in this file, unfortunately. I must use formulas only. That's what's driving me nuts!

    Thanks in advance for your attention.

    Bruno

    Re: List data base having one field as title

    JeteMc, I get your point and I appreciate your help, however I can't really use your formula the way it is because the word "Client" is just an example I used for the sample file that I've attached here. In my real DB, there's no "Client", I mean, there are real names of clients. Same goes with equipments, models and etc. Anyway, thanks for your attention.

    kvsrinivasamurthy, when I first saw the sheet you attached, I thought the problem had been solved; however if you pay close attention to it, you'll see that there are some records (equipments) missing in the list. Please, check it out yourself, if you can. Every first record of each client is missing. Moreover, the list must be totally automatic, so I can't really "type the first client" on the top of the list. But I appreciate your help anyway. We're getting close. Thank you very much.

    JeteMc, I did what you suggested, but it didn't work. I wonder if I'm missing something here...

    Edited:

    By the way, my Excel is in Portuguese, my native language. I had to translate your functions, but I guess everything is OK. Please, if possible, check the attached file and see if the functions are correc in English. Thanks again.

    Re: List data base having one field as title

    I don't know why the ...IF(OR(... was throwing a #NAME? error however it isn't now. I got rid of that last IFERROR as it appears to be unnecessary. This seems to be working:
