Using IFERROR to sort data into groups - not working

[anne121]

I am trying to sort the data into lists according to the assigned "group" A,X,Y,Z

I copied the formula from the internet so it may have lost something in translation...

=IFERROR(INDEX($B$1:$B$200,AGGREGATE(15,6,1/($A$1:$A$200=$E$2)*(ROW($A$1:$A$200)-ROW($A$1)),ROW()-ROW($E$1))),"")

It looks like it works but on closer inspection many numbers are missing or put in the wrong list...

The ultimate goal is to sort the A invoices into batches of 30, then the X Y and Z into their own batches. There may be an easier way....?

Any help would be appreciated!

Welcome to the forum.

Members will tailor the solutions they offer to the version (NOT a release number like 2012) of Office (Excel, NOT Windows) that you have. Please check that your forum profile is up-to-date in this respect. If you aren't sure, in Excel go to File | Account and report what it says below the MS logo at the top of that page. If your version is for Mac, please also state this. Thanks.

If you have MS365, then you can use this in E3 copied across:

=IFNA(FILTER($B$2:$B$500,IFERROR($A$2:$A$500=E$2,0),""),"")

[AliGW]

For pre-365 Excel, try this in E3 copied across and down:

=IFERROR(INDEX($B$1:$B$500,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($2:$500)/($A$2:$A$500=E$2),ROW(1:1))),"")
