    Complex Excel Formula Required for Obtaining Values based on Column & Row

    Hi

    Please see attached file as it is simpler to show by example. I am looking for a complex formula which will find multiple lookup values based on the column and header value. I have tried a lot of formulas but can not achieve the result.

    Thanks in Advance

    I am not sure if I follow the logic here but you can give it try

    Copy and paste this formula in cell B13, drag it across and down.

    =IF(B3="","",VLOOKUP("*"&RIGHT(B3,1),$A$3:$A$6,1,0))

    Thanks for the formula but it didn't work. i got some values however they were incorrect as the names are not in 100% order, e.g. You could just have 3 names there and we need to find the shifts for those names so the if b3 = formula won't work in this example

    Well, like I said, I had my reservations. Since there was very little explanation of the "logic" behind the conversion process and no clarity of how you arrive at certain results.

    I will try to explain what i am trying to do. At the top you have wards 1-7 and on the left you have the Shifts. The user assigns the names to the shifts/wards. Now they require a "report" which basically shows it in a user view.

    So the below cells are an example how they want to see the report based on Users and Wards. This will show the users that what wards they are looking after and on what shift hence you can have more than 1 shift assigned to a ward for a user.
