    Evaluating next lower cell if top cell doesn't meet criteria in an IFS statement

    Description in title is very vague as I didn't quite know how to describe what I am looking to do. But here goes:

    I have a worksheet titled"Required Tools". If a particular trade (HVAC, Electrical, etc), is selected a list of required tools (with cost, manuf, vendor, etc) is displayed. I have a column titled "Order?" on this sheet. If the individual wants to add this tool to the purchase order form they place an x in the box next to the item.

    I have another worksheet titled "Plumb Order Test". Here is what I want to do:

    In the first available cell under "Item" I want a formula that will look at the "Required Tools" worksheet and return the item description of the first row that has an "X" in the "Order?" cell. The next cell down would then do the same evaluation, entering the next row in "Required Tools" that has an "x" in the "Order?" cell, making sure not to duplicate any results.

    Any help would be appreciated:

    In C6 of "Plumb Order Test"

    =IFERROR(INDEX('REQUIRED TOOLS'!$C$5:$C$1000,SMALL(IF('REQUIRED TOOLS'!$F$5:$F$1000="x",ROW('REQUIRED TOOLS'!$C$5:$C$1000)-ROW($C$5)+1,""),ROWS($C$5:C5))),"")

    ...confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer.

    Copy down

    It seems to work until I enable editing. Once I click on enabling editing the Required Tools spreadsheets doesn't contain any data. Images attached

    Re: Evaluating next lower cell if top cell doesn't meet criteria in an IFS statement

    Everything seems to work fine at home. I uploaded to my onedrive account and when I open at work I get the #NAME? error. What would be causing this?
