    Modify formula so that it works with alphanumeric data

    Hi,

    I have the following formula in cell Q3, which works fine with numerical data:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    The challenge I have is to make this formula work for alphanumeric data (numerical data, numbers stored as text and text strings).

    I have attached a workbook that shows the three variations of data in Table 1, Table 2 and Table 3, along with the expected results in Table 4, Table 5 and Table 6, respectively. Empty grey cells may be blank or contain invisible single quotes (').

    I need the single formula to work with all three data types.

    Best regards,
    Marbleking

    Please try

    =IFERROR(TEXT(IF(B3:D36<>"",B3:D36,IF(C3:E36="",B3:D36,CHOOSE({1,2,3},INDEX(B3:B36,MATCH(C3:C36&"",REPT(C3:C36,B3:B36<>""),)),INDEX(C3:C36&"",MATCH(D3:D36&"",REPT(D3:D36,C3:C36<>""),)),D3:D36))),"0;;"),"")
