Hello everybody,
I need help transforming some data. I'm having issues splitting data from one column into multiple rows, while repeating data from the other columns.
For better understanding, I have attached an example.
This needs to be accomplished by formula and not VBA.
Regards,
tchock
A6, an array formula (and a bit of a monster...):
=IFERROR(TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(";"&INDEX(data!$C$2:$C$5,MATCH(1,(data!$A$2:$A$5=output!B6)*(data!$B$2:$B$5=output!C6),0)),";",REPT(" ",125)),125*SUMPRODUCT(IF(CONCATENATE($B$6:$B6,$C$6:$C6)=$B6&$C6,1,0)),125)),"")
B6, copied across and down:
=IFERROR(INDEX(data!A$2:A$5,MATCH(0,INDEX(--(COUNTIF(B$5:B5,data!A$2:A$5)=data!$D$2:$D$5),0),0)),"")

Hi,
Do you want to split the product id?
You can use the left and right functions
=LEFT(C2,SEARCH(";",C2,1)-1) ---> to get the first product id
=RIGHT(C2,LEN(C2)-SEARCH(";",C2,1)) ---> to extract the balance
just keep repeating it. (i hope i can attach your spreadsheet but i dont know how.)
I have tried this one for you.
This is what i normally do. But if there are other suggestions from other user's that are more convenient and faster, i'll appreciate it too.
Hope this help.
Thank you.
Wow, this is really monster.
I need to check this out.
I'm using the manual trimming.
I forgot to add...
Array Formulae are a little different from ordinary formulae in that they MUST be confirmed in the FIRST CELL ONLY by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. After that, the array can be dragged down as normal, to cover the desired range.
You will know the array is active when you see curly brackets { } - or "curly braces" for those of you in the USA, or "flower brackets" for those of you in India - appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will (almost always) get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.
Don't type the curly brackets yourself - it won't work...
This is perfect!
You're a superstar! :D
Thanks a lot!!!
You're welcome and thanks for the rep.
