    Correction formula alphabetically sorted

    Good evening I need to correct a formula that divides me the nick of column D
    according to the letters M and F that are in column B.
    The result is in BB column for Nick-M
    And column BC for Nick-F
    The formula I use,

    In column BB puts a 0 in the first line
    While the formula in BC column equal to the previous one
    changes only the letter M with F I skip a text that would go first,
    as you can see from the colored cells of yellow
    I hope I've been spotted
    Thank you

    If I have interpreted the intent in the upload correctly try this in BB8, fill down and across.

    Re: Correction formula alphabetically sorted

    Good morning, FlameR, Avk

    Thank you so much for your solutions.
    But I was looking for an alphabetical order A, B, C, D ...
    Like the one I had just put that gave her some error
    As you have seen.
    Is it possible to sort it or another formula that puts them in order?
    Thanks again

    Re: Correction formula alphabetically sorted

    Berna11, 4000 array formulas is a lot of array formulas. If you are not aware of it they are resource hungry and can slow the workbook down.

    Helper columns are a way around this. They can be put anywhere. They can even be hidden.

    In the attached they are in columns AX:AY. The helper formula in AX8:AY1000 is

    Re: Correction formula alphabetically sorted

    Hello Flame
    I tried your solution and it seems to me to function properly.
    In fact, matrix formulas slowed down the workbook very much
    Meanwhile, I thank you for the availability and solution you gave me
    Thanks again for the next one.
