    Getting data for a particular cell from different columns

    Dear All,
    I need to get data for a particular cell from same column (Multiple vlookup) and from different columns. For example I have person 1 to 10 who are assigned to different projects. Now I have data project wise. I need the data person wise. So in my first column there are name of the companies and then in the next columns (Which go till BA in the original sheet) there are persons names. I can get the names from one column using index and if and small (Which i learnt in this forum some years agao), however I am not able to get the names from different columns. I have attached the sheet to show my problem and expected solution. Please let me know if you need more information.

    as it is array formula you have to accept it with Ctrl+Shift+Enter.
    Then drag it right and down.

    Re: Getting data for a particular cell from different columns

    Please try at D18
    =IFERROR(INDEX($C$4:$C$13,SMALL(IF(($D$4:$E$13=$C18),ROW($C$4:$C$13)),COLUMNS($D18:D18))-ROW($C$3)),"")

    ...confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer.

    Re: Getting data for a particular cell from different columns

    Thank you. Both of them worked. However I have one question for @KOKOSEK. What does 10^10 do??? That is the only part I am not able to understand. I will then mark the thread as solved.

    Bacuse we want to deal with SMALL function whatever is out of our criteria ($D$4:$E$13<>$C18) gets huge value (10^10) to go out of range of col. C.
