Hello,
I have spent hours looking for a solution to this and have gathered I should use Index/Match, but I can't figure it out.
I have a set of unique names in a spreadsheet which are listed over time.
In other words, the names can occur in any column or row.
I would like to extract every unique name based on the first name.
Example Book#Sheet1!A1_K5.png
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Which Excel version are you using? Your profile says "10" - does that mean Windows 10 (which is irrelevant) or Excel 2010 ? There may be different solutions available, depending on the Excel version you have.

Walking the tightrope between genius and eejit...
Sorry, I'll change that. Yes, Excel 2010.
One way:
=IFERROR(INDIRECT(TEXT(AGGREGATE(15,6,(ROW($B$2:$D$6)*100+COLUMN($B$2:$D$6))/(ISNUMBER(SEARCH($G2,$B$2:$D$6))),COLUMNS($H:H)),"R0C00"),FALSE),"")
Given that you're in Germany, you may need ; instead of , and you may need to change R and C (in red) to whatever you see when you enter these formulae in an empty cell:
LEFT(ADDRESS(1,1,1,0),1)
=MID(ADDRESS(1,1,1,0),3,1)
... again changing , into ; if needed.

Hi Glenn, sorry for the late reply. That was perfect. Thank you so very much for your time and attention.
As a matter of interest.. what is the German equivalent of R & C??
You're welcome.
