    auto populate field for whole year based on 2 criteria's of T/F & name - impossible?

    Data is as follows:
    Name date changed old value new value
    001 08/01/2021 T F
    001 22/02/2021 F T
    001 04/04/2021 T F
    001 30/05/2021 T F
    002 07/01/2021 F T
    002 14/04/2021 T F
    002 26/05/2021 T F
    003 17/03/2021 F T
    003 27/04/2021 T F


    What I am trying to do if autofill the data for the whole year and populate by day T or F up until each time it changed. The date it changes, it starts populating the new value.
    i.e. for 001 - the value will be
    01/01/2021 - T
    02/01/2021 - T
    03/01/2021 - T
    04/01/2021 - T
    05/01/2021 - T
    06/01/2021 - T
    07/01/2021 - F
    08/01/2021 - F
    this continues for the rest of the year
    Same is then for 002 & 003. To be clear it needs to recognise the name field and also when the change happened and continue populating. This seems impossible
    As you can imagine this is so manual and if I have 500 names and have to do for 365 days a T or F depending on the input data, it will take ages. I was thinking index match however there are two issues, it only recognises the first set of data and doesn't recognise by name. Any thoughts... would appreciate someone giving a detailed solution. thanks

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook. The workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

    To attach a file to your post,
    click advanced (next to quick post),
    scroll down until you see "manage file",
    click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
    click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

    Thanks for the info, I have now attached a spreadsheet as the example file... there are 2 sheets, 1 is the input of raw data, 2 is output.
    I really am stuck and cannot think of a solution for this

    Try

    in C2

    =IFERROR(IF(INDEX(input!$B$2:$B$14,MATCH(C$1,input!$A$2:$A$14,0))>$A2,INDEX(input!$C$2:$C$14,MATCH(C$1,input!$A$2:$A$14,0)),IFERROR(INDEX(input!$D$2:$D$14,MATCH(C$1&$A2,input!$A$2:$A$14&input!$B$2:$B$14,1)),"")),"")

    Enter with Ctrl+Shift+Enter (Array formula)

    Copy across and down

    Thanks JohnTopley, the problem with this is that if you look at the first data of T001, the date changes on 07/01/2021 so F should be then rather than 08/01/2021.
    Same as T001 22/01/2021, it should start populating T then rather than 23/01/2021?
    Thanks

    Re: auto populate field for whole year based on 2 criteria's of T/F & name - impossible?

    Thanks, John, that was very useful to double-check against.
    Although I am getting an error when I am adding more names to the spreadsheet.
    I have 1000 names and this will be updated throughout the year. This report is dynamic and taken from another system
    hence each time the report is downloaded, it may have more names against it.
    Attached the updated file. Could we use tables so that the data is not limited?
    I've tried to change the formula to look up the table however the T & F are registering against the wrong dates now?
    would appreciate it if you could update the formula against this uploaded file please.
    Ali - apologies for that, thanks for the info, will do going forward.

    The issue is that your most of your dates in Input are Dates AND Times so you do not get the expected matches. See first TOP003.

    I have corrected the DATES (removed TIME).
