    Question Understanding why some cells work and some don't with formula

    I have created this database so I could select a dept # and have all records for that dept # listed in a new table on same sheet.
    Problem I am having is the formula is working in only some of the cells, I can't figure out how to make them all work.

    First thing I see is that your headers which you reference through Indirect are not the same as your named ranges which is why you are getting #REF. i.e. header is "Last Name" Named range is "Last_Name"
    Hope that helps.

    I have one last fix to be done so this works perfectly. Hope you can help. In cells that are blank are coming up as zero's. How do I get the blank cells to extract over as blanks using the formula I already have?

    Thank You

    You need to nest another IF statement in there unfortunately, so in AI5 for example would be the arrayed formula
