So the problem I have is I am looking for a different / better way to do this. Currently I am doing this -
=IF('[CROWS-Master Input.xlsx]CROWS-Master Input'!$B2=C3,'[CROWS-Master Input.xlsx]CROWS-Master Input'!$H2,"")
A Couple things.
1. The above is in 9 different cells and the last cell ref. just goes from H2, H3, etc for a total of 9 entries.
2. C3 is a Company name, H3, H4, etc. is a serial number.
3. This fills out 1 to 9 blocks on a form and I could have a max of 10 different forms ( for different companies) all with this formula in 9 cells (on each form)
4. If I keep it this way, on my master data sheet I must give each different company 9 rows even if Company A only has 3 Serial numbers, meaning I would have to have 90 rows total to account for the max possible entries. I never need that many.
Real life is I may have 4 different companies and 2 may need all 9 serial number entries and the other 2 may only have 3 ea.
Based on the above, I would need to have to have 36 rows/cells to make this work.
So...I want to be able to just use the min cells for the current data I have which in my example would be 24 cells vs. 36. All the info in the datasheet would just be entered in line, no blank cells. I want excel to look at all the Serial numbers and only put the serial number(s) that are connected to a specific company for that form and enter the information either in 1 cell on the form (easiest way I suppose) or only put 1 (different) Serial number into each of a possible 9 different cells , on each of 4 different forms (based on my example above).
Hope this make sense and thanks for any help anyone can provide.
