    Group Travel and Hotel Spreadsheet

    I have to organize airport transfers and hotel accommodations for approximately 65 visitors. Some of them will be arriving and departing on the same flights, others arrive and depart at different times. They also arrive and depart in different area airports on different dates. Is there a formula I can use to sort those who will be traveling together so that the car service can pick up small groups of people at the same time? I have little experience with Excel 2013 and the manual way I have been doing this is exhausting, tedious and time consuming. Please help.

    Probably not a formula, but if you tabulated it nicely you could probably use the FILTER tool or maybe a Pivot Table to get what you want.

    Can you post an example spreadsheet, with the names anonymized out or something?

    Thanks ben_hensel. I will have to try to do it when I return to work on Monday, as the spreadsheet is on my work computer.

    Re: Group Travel and Hotel Spreadsheet

    Depending on what your data layout looks like, you might be able to use something like a countif() based on flight number? Below is a very simplistic sample of what I mean...
    A
    B
    C
    1
    name Flight
    2
    aa
    123
    123 4
    3
    bb
    234
    234 3
    4
    cc
    345
    345 3
    5
    dd
    123
    123 4
    6
    ee
    234
    234 3
    7
    ff
    345
    345 3
    8
    gg
    123
    123 4
    9
    hh
    234
    234 3
    10
    ii
    345
    345 3
    11
    jj
    123
    123 4

    C2=B2&" "&COUNTIF($B$2:$B$11,B2)
    copied down

    Another option...
    A
    B
    C
    D
    E
    1
    name Flight
    2
    aa
    123
    123
    4
    3
    bb
    234
    234
    3
    4
    cc
    345
    345
    3
    5
    dd
    123
    6
    ee
    234
    7
    ff
    345
    8
    gg
    123
    9
    hh
    234
    10
    ii
    345
    11
    jj
    123

    D2=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$11,MATCH(0,INDEX(COUNTIF($D1:D$1,$B$2:$B$11),),0)),"")
    E2=IF(D2="","",COUNTIF($B$2:$B$11,D2))
    both copied down
    This 1 would be more flexable, and give you a summary table
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

    Arrival Date
    Arrival Time
    Airline Name
    Flight Number
    Drop Off Location
    Departure Date
    Pick Up Location
    Departure Airport
    Departure Time
    Airline Name
    Flight Number

    To attach a file to your post,
    click advanced (next to quick post),
    scroll down until you see "manage file",
    click that and select "add files" (top right corner).
    click "select files" find your file, click "open" click "upload" click 'done" bottom right. click "submit reply"

    Once the upload is completed the file name will appear below the input boxes in this window.
    You can then close the window to return to the new post screen.
