    Smile Need help with a complex formula I cant solve. Please help. Re-order column numbers.....

    Hello, need help with a formula

    Ok heres the sample and I will explain what is the problem above:
    A
    B
    C
    1
    Priority
    Re-Ordered Priority
    Team Or Single
    2
    3
    Team 1
    3
    10
    Team 1
    4
    9
    Team 2
    5
    1
    Team 2
    6
    6
    Team 3
    7
    2
    Team 3
    8
    5
    Team 4
    9
    8
    Team 4
    10
    7
    Team 4
    11
    4
    Team 4

    I have write a complex formula to give priorities in the column A and a second complex formula to check somes Dates in another column (i have not inlcude it here) and if a date of a row it's the same with another row, then eg on C2 cell we have a Team and not a Single task, the same formula are able to separate Teams, as you can see Team 1, Team 2, etc...

    What I have not write and I have no inspiration at all and I don't know what to do is: HOW TO RE-ORDER PRIORITIES IN COLUMN B IF WE HAVE A TEAM IN COLUMN C AND NOT A SINGLE

    Let me give an example:
    A
    B
    C
    1
    Priority
    Re-Ordered Priority
    Team Or Single
    2
    3
    1
    Team 1
    3
    10
    2
    Team 1
    4
    9
    2
    Team 2
    5
    1
    1
    Team 2
    6
    6
    2
    Team 3
    7
    2
    1
    Team 3
    8
    5
    1
    Team 4
    9
    8
    4
    Team 4
    10
    7
    3
    Team 4
    11
    4
    2
    Team 4

    As you can see, what I want is for example B2 takes the value 1 because A2 is smaller than A3 and of cource because we have a Team not a Single on C2.
    This is an easy formula because we have only 2 cells to check that belongs to Team 1
    The formula goes like this:

    Ok now let's go for the second row.
    I guess the formula goes like this to check both next and previous cells:

    Now the formula is still problematic, because if we have a team with more than 2 rows, eg TEAM 4 have 4 rows, I will need to write some kind of bigger formula or to write a formula with a combination of INDEX or Vlookup???

    I really don't know, for some reason I have stuck.

    I need help. Please. Any ideas???

    Thanks, Nicolas

    I don't believe it. Thank you so much. Of course countifs, this is the problem with me, I always looking to combine formulas instead to write a single function of formula like countifs.

    Thank you so much.
