    Kind of reverse vlookup

    Hi guys,

    I am trying to create a formula that would save a lot manual work that. I've already tried this with VLOOKUP and MATCH&INDEX but I can't get the results i want.

    Let's say I get a large set of data every week that I want to divide to different excel files (one file with one persons data). The masterdata will have the same columns every week, but the row's that belong to each person will variate every week. There are also a lot of data (columns) I don't want to include in the individual files. Originally I created a .bat file that would create template's for every person, and in the templates I tried to use vlookup and match/index formulas to grab the data from my masterdata excel as I open the individual files, but I didn't get it to work. Now I have no idea what I should try next, probably this should be done with macros/vba (as far as automatically creating individual excels per person goes at least..) but I have no experience with them.

    I have an example attached about what I would like to achieve.

    In the beginning I'd only have the sheet that's called Masterdata and what I would like to achieve (have in the end) are now in PersonX.xls sheet's which should really be separate files. In real life there are way more colums and data in the masterfile and way more individual excel's to be created. So im trying to find a shortcut so I wouldn't have to do all of copying, pasting and sorting.

    I've been browsing this forum for help since I did my master's thesis a bit over a year ago and i've noticed there are a lot of really advanced excel users here who can do almost anything so I wanted to give this a try.

    Thanks!
