    Make a list from a table

    I'm trying again. Can anyone think of a simple formula to create a list from a table? I have attached a sample of what I am trying to achieve. Thank you.

    Re: Make a list from a table

    I would be inclined to use helper columns.

    In columns K:L locate the row and column numbers.

    Then group them in columns M:N.

    Enter array formula in L2 and copy down

    **Must be entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter key combination.

    Re: Make a list from a table

    Another way ... fewer helper columns ... calculates slower.

    In column K

    In column L array entered. If you aren’t familiar with array-entered formulas array enter means the formula must be committed from edit mode by simultaneously pressing and holding down Ctrl and Shift while hitting Enter.

    Re: Make a list from a table

    FlameRetired, your formula does the trick but one question... your results display the next player in each row. ie: column 2 (smith), 4 (johnson), 2 (Jones), 8 (hill), 10 (painter). Is there a way to display the data by column? In other words, 2 (smith), 2 (jones), 4 (johnson), 8 (hill), 10 (painter)? I appreciate your help.

    Try this.

    In column N the new helper formula is

    in column M the new formula is array entered. If you aren’t familiar with array-entered formulas array enter means the formula must be committed from edit mode by simultaneously pressing and holding down Ctrl and Shift while hitting Enter.
