    List of Job No based on ststua in another cell

    I have a new sheet where I want to summarise all jobs which have a certain status from another sheet. I have all my data in JobTable on Jobs sheet and am using the following which doesn't work:-

    =IF(JobTable[Current Job Status]="OFFICE",JobTable[Job No],"")

    I want a list of job numbers which have the status of OFFICE displayed. I can see how the above formula doesn't work but can't see why - it seems such a simple thing to do but I'm having a brain freeze!

    I'm thinking it needs to use INDEX in there somewhere.

    Please provide a small sample file.

    As you have Excel 2013, you could download and use the free PowerQuery add-in (Microsoft).

    Hi. Sample attached showing the data table and then the required results.

    I'd rather create the solution via formula than power query

    So the results you want are just the job number - yes?

    This in A2 copied down:

    =IFERROR(INDEX(Table1[Job No],AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($1:$501)/(Table1[Status]="OFFICE"),ROW(1:1))),"")

    That works fine AliGW

    To now bring through the site would you advise using your formula or using a VLookup (or INDEX / MATCH) based on the job number generated from your formula?

    Many thanks for your help

    Just use that formula with a different INDEX column. VLOOKUP and INDEX MATCH get fiddly with multiple criteria, so use the KISS principle here, The AGGREGATE formula is not array entered, so should be softer in terms of overhead, anyway.
