    Pulling data from a merged cell

    I am trying to come up with a formula which pulls data from a merged cell. Let me provide an example
    If cell P12 and Q12 shows a value of 5, i would like the respective value in cell P5 to be reflected in cell M12, so cell M12 will be where my formula is. Do let me know if this is not clear, i will try to come up with a visual to provide more context.
    I've tried extracting the data if Q12 = 5, however the problem I've been facing is as P5 and Q5 is merged, the data is stored in P5 and Q5 is an empty cell, thus it would not return anything.

    =IFERROR(TEXTJOIN(", ", TRUE, "", IF($P12:$XFD12=5, IF($P$5:$XFD$5<>"",$P$5:$XFD$5, ""),"")), "")

    This is my current formula

    Welcome to the forum

    Don't merge cells - use Centre Across Selection on the format menu instead.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook (yellow banner: HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK). Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

    If you have merged P12:Q12 then you have lost whatever was in Q12. You can only now refer to cell P12 to test a condition or return a value. You would have had a warning when you attempted to merge the cells and you have presumably ignored or accepted the warning.
