    Converting information to more presentable data

    Good morning,

    I am having difficulty completing the attached automatically. I have tried multiple formula's but unable to get the desired results. Vlookups, hlookups, match, and a combination of each.

    The Data tab contains a selection of timings completed for a particular operation (Timed Values 1-93). This data has then been used to get the average, standard deviation, upper and lower control lines. We use this data to convert to graphs to show the times for the action in Column D. The information in column F to J are fixed values. I would like to use formulas to create the information on the desired results tab, but using the drop down in A2 to change the values in the table.

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Pete

    Re: Converting information to more presentable data

    Hi Ali,

    I am wondering if there is a way to delete this thread, I realised I didn't post it in the formula section. I have just posted in there and don't want the thread on multiple tines.

    Re: Converting information to more presentable data

    In your "Formula" worksheet paste below formula in Cell D4 and drag down:

    =OFFSET(Table1[[#Headers],[Col D]],MATCH($A$2,Table1[Col D],0),ROW(C13))

    and in Cell E4 use below formula and drag it below and right:

    =VLOOKUP($A$2,Table1[[#All],[Col D]:[93]],MATCH(E$3,Table1[[#Headers],[Col D]:[93]],0),0)

    See attachment for reference

    Hope it helped you?

    Re: Converting information to more presentable data

    This is easily achieved using Power Query (Get & Transform Data).

    Add the following query, and Load To the Data Model:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Now insert a pivot table, with Col D in Filters, Interval in Rows, and your required measures in Values.

    See attachment for worked example.

    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Walking the tightrope between genius and eejit...

    Thank you Olly, That is much appreciated.
    Ive never used a Power Query before and didn't think i could complete it through a Pivot table.

    Thank you Both.
