Extract Duplicate and Column header in same row

[jexcel123]

Hi,

Really would like some help here.

I have several different dates in a row with one primary date i need to match with.

The different dates referring to different events and stages. I would like to extract all the column header which has the event if the main date matches in the same row.

for Example
Column Headers First Stage Second Stage Third Stage Fourth Stage
Row 1 : Main Date: 01/01/2018 | 01/01/2018 | 02/01/2018 | 01/01/2018 | 01/01/2018

I'd like to extract and list the stages providing the Main date is the same as the cell in that row

Desperately would like some advice thanks. hope it makes sense.

thanks

Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

Remember to desensitize the data.

Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.

Rule 08: Cross-posting Without Telling Us

Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Do not cross-post your question on multiple forums without telling us about your threads on other forums.

Post a link to any other forums where you have asked the same question. If you have fewer than 10 posts here, you will not be able to post a link, but you must still tell us where else you have asked the question.

Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).

No further help to be offered, please, until the OP has complied with this request.

Read the instructions I gave: you cannot post a link as you have too few posts. Instead, tell us where else you have posted this query. That is all you have to do.

This proposed solution employs A LOT of helpers.
The first group of helpers, columns T:AF, is populated using:

Cell B3 references cell AT3.
Let us know if you have any questions.
If the solution works for you please mark the thread on BOTH forums as being 'Solved'.

Here's a UDF to do the same thing.

How to install your new code
Copy the Excel VBA code
Select the workbook in which you want to store the Excel VBA code
Press Alt+F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor
Choose Insert > Module
Edit > Paste the macro into the module that appeared
Close the VBEditor
Save your workbook (Excel 2007+ select a macro-enabled file format, like *.xlsm)


Then an array formula, copied down:

=ConcatAll(IF($E$3:$R$3=B3,$E$1:$R$1,""),", ",TRUE)

Array Formulae are a little different from ordinary formulae in that they MUST be confirmed in the FIRST CELL ONLY by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. After that, the array can be dragged down as normal, to cover the desired range.

You will know the array is active when you see curly brackets { } - or "curly braces" for those of you in the USA, or "flower brackets" for those of you in India - appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will (almost always) get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.

Don't type the curly brackets yourself - it won't work...

NOTE: The merged cell at E1:F1 has had to go!! They will always get you in the end.... they are the spawn of Satan
