    Thumbs up Return multiple TEXT data

    Hi guys,

    I am trying to return multiple text values and I just found in the internet for multiple numeric values.
    I tried the formula below, but actually the formula SMALL just works for numeric values.
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    You can find the sheet attached below:
    new production example 2.xlsx

    So, what happen is some orders have different items, and this items are text (for example tube or strip).
    The order number repeat in the first column when this order has more than 1 item.
    What I need is to return the second, third.. (up to 10 items) of the repeated order numbers.

    Any idea?

    Thanks guys

    I assume your sheet "SAP report" is always sorted ascending by SAP O/No.

    Re: Return multiple TEXT data

    Hi wenqq3,

    Unfortunately I found a problem in the formula
    The formula doesn't work if there is a blank row (or cell).
    Please find the sheet attached demonstrating the problem:
    Production - Copy.xlsm

    SAP generates the report with 1 row with data and 1 row blank, 1 row with data and 1 row blank, and so forth.
    There is a way to fix the formula and bring the data even if there are blank rows?

    I appreciate your reply.
    Thank you!

    Re: Return multiple TEXT data

    Will it always have 1 row blank after 1 row data?
    And is the data always sorted?

    Re: Return multiple TEXT data

    Thank you for the reply wenqq3.

    Is not always but is 98% of the time.
    I just extract another report from SAP and from the 130 rows with data, 127 are followed with a blank row. The other 3 rows came with data under them.

    Can you try this.
    This code worked if your data is always sorted and with 1 row data and 1 row blank.

    Re: Return multiple TEXT data

    I suggest you should make your data consistent.
    If good if you use the 1st code i sent you, you just need sorted and remove the empty row.
    remove empty row ( select col A and B, then ctrl + g, special, blank, right click selected blank row, delete, delete row)

    Hi guys and wenqq3,

    I would like to add one more sheet to compare with the master one. The formula now is the one below, but now it have to compare from "SAP Report" (is already in the formula) and from the tab "Orders" (which is not in the formula).

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    So if that number in the cell in the master sheet is not in "SAP Report" sheet, it needs to find in "Orders" sheet.

    Is that possible to add?

    Thanks guys
