    Unsuccessful formula attempt - Transpose, Unique

    2021-09-27_17-45-14.jpg

    I attached the file for less confusion.

    The goal is to evaluate columns B, D, F, and so forth and then output the values in B9, B10, B11 without reproducing duplicates or empty cell values.

    In short, I want to find the colors or items needed (columns) and output them horizontally (rows), if possible. It was possible in Google sheets but I cannot get it to work in Excel.

    I have been unsuccessful with TRANSPOSE and UNIQUE thus far.

    Are you still using XL2003. If you have upgraded, then please update your profile to reflect the version you are using as this will dictate the solution options available. Also, there is no file attached as you have indicated.

    My profile has been updated to M365, it is has been some time since I have been on Office, my apologies.

    Fluff13, your example is working flawlessly on a local copy on my hard drive, but once I transfer it to the web version via Sharepoint I am getting a #VALUE error.

    FILTERXML does not work in the Web app. Sharepoint will not be the issue, rather WHERE the workbook is being opened (e.g. in a browser or mobile app).

    I figured that was the case. Is there a potential workaround just using the web app.
