    Formula which will collate names into a collumn

    Hi,

    I have a spreadsheet where I keep a list of my clients. There is a field which has filled in which days of the week I see them. I need some kind of a formula that will populate another column with all the clients I see on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc..

    Get what I mean?

    Thanks

    In order to help you with this, a workbook with an accurate representation of your data (strip out confidential data) is necessary. Can you upload some data?

    You could use a pivot table. See my example attached, its a little crude but hopefully it's what you were thinking.

    I can email the spreadsheet to anybody if it makes it easier to understand what I mean. Screenshot below... I need to column with days in centre filled in to write to another column with a list of people in on a Monday, Tues... So the column on the end could be called 'Monday' and it will automatically collate everybody with a 'Mon' present in the 'days in centre' column into it....

    Thanks

    Leesubberroom that Is what I am after... don't know how to do it though. Will have a play now

    Thanks

    I've had a play and I can't get it to work! It kind of works. But because I have some with values of Mon, Tue and Wed etc they're all separate in the pivot table. Whereas I need just Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday as my filters. And the client in with values for Mon, Tue and Wed to show up in the pivot table for each of those days.

    if that makes sense

    When you reply to the post, click "go advanced" on the bottom right, and underneath the reply you have an option to upload a file. Just make sure you remove any sensitive data before uploading. I'll try to have a look in the next few days.

    Re: Formula which will collate names into a collumn

    Hi,

    I'm sorry about this. I could have sworn i uploaded this file a few days ago, and i havent checked since. Here it is again. I've had to change the way your data is rearranged a little to make it easier but hopefully it wont be a problem. Also, to make it more clear I've seperated to different days out in to tabs. Note that when you add more data you'll need to press the refresh buttons. Also, if you add any columns in to the "Data" tab, it will make the formula's in the tabs incorrect. Hopefully you can figure out how it all works, but the forum will help you anyway.

    Hope this is what you're looking for.

    Re: Formula which will collate names into a collumn

    That is awesome!! Thanks very much!

    One thing: Is there any way I can have the learner name appear on the Monday, Tuesday etc tabs? As well as their ID? It's easier to identify who I have in if their name shows as opposed to just their ID?

    Thanks again.

    Re: Formula which will collate names into a collumn

    Hi again,

    The spread sheet is working great. However, I Need to add more learners to it. Is this easy to do? I need a section for 'construction workers' underneath 'customer service' in the data table and for the data associated with these learners to collate in the other tabs for each day.

    Easy to change?

    Thanks

    Me again! Have been using this spread for ages now and it's served me very well.

    However lately it doesn't work properly. If I refresh it doesn't collate anything into Friday? Also if I don't fill in any values for the Wednesday it comes up with an error when clicking the refresh, any ideas?

    Error is: 1004 - Make sure an ending square bracket ] is not missing

    Thanks
