    Returning the values of filtered items on another sheet

    So I have a sheet - say for example, like this:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Is it possible to have a table of formulas, which will show me all the values in the second column of each country (e.g. Fiji)?

    The end result will be like this - I'm hoping to be able to do it so I don't need to manually filter and copy rows each month.

    Re: Returning the values of filtered items on another sheet

    In my head I'm thinking it might be possible to do this with an initial lookup, and then subsequent rows with an index that starts at Motor Vechicle Toyota Hilux for team leader in North to continue with a second lookup. Clunky, but is there a better way for this?

    This array formula** entered in E2 and copied down until you get blanks:

    =IFERROR(INDEX(B:B,SMALL(IF(A$2:A$20=D$2,ROW(A$2:A$20)),ROWS(E$2:E2))),"")

    ** array formulas need to be entered using the key
    combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER).
    Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key
    then hit ENTER.

    Re: Returning the values of filtered items on another sheet

    I'm not sure if we're on the same page... I want to extract the rows which are Fiji (or Am Samoa, or PNG, doesn't really matter) into a table, the Fiji label will be a lookup (say D2) so I want the formula, which will be in cells E1-E20, to populate with whatever is in country D2.

    Re: Returning the values of filtered items on another sheet

    Hmmm...

    That's what the formula is doing except that it's not repeating Fiji (or whatever) for each row of data.

    We already know the data is related to Fiji so why repeat it for each row of data?

    Re: Returning the values of filtered items on another sheet

    Can't get it working

    FWIW - columns D and E in your example are on another worksheet.

    For me, D1 is a fixed cell for the worksheet, and column E is what I am wanting the array/formula to generate for me. There's a sheet for each location (Am Samoa, Cooks, PNG etc).

    Re: Returning the values of filtered items on another sheet

    Can you post a SMALL file that shows how/where your data is and what result you expect?

    A SMALL file is about 20 rows worth of data. We just need an accurate representative sample of what you have and what you want. Files with rows/columns full of irrelevant data just make understanding the problem more difficult.

    Was just prepping the file

    So in the "Am Samoa" sheet, I want the formula to populate in cells C31:C38, from "A - Data" columns A and C.

    Re: Returning the values of filtered items on another sheet

    Try this...

    On the Am Samoa sheet...

    Enter this array formula** in C31:

    =IFERROR(INDEX('A - Data'!C:C,SMALL(IF('A - Data'!A$3:A$26=C$1,ROW('A - Data'!A$3:A$26)),ROWS(C$31:C31))),"")

    ** array formulas need to be entered using the key
    combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER).
    Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key
    then hit ENTER.

    Copy down to C38.
