I am working on a spreadsheet in excel which looks in a specific cell (L5) for a section, and then it pulls information from another tab using a filter to show that as part of a table. I use the formula below (multiple times to pull different parts of the table) so that I can enter values and do calculations using information the end user enters, as well as with information from the table.
At the moment this works if L5 contains one phrase, but ultimately what I would like to be able to do is have L5 contain multiple comma seperated phrases, and then be able to pull each relevant section from the table.Please Login or Register to view this content.
As an example of the layout of the table, it may look something like the below:
Item $/Qty Markup Section
A $100 1.0 1
B $25 1.0 2
C $1 1.35 2
D $1000 1.50 3
What I am trying to achieve as an example is having a comma seperated list, so in L5 I could have 1,2 and it would return A,B & C in the filter, or if I had 2,3 in that comma seperated list the filter would generate the table with B,C & D entries. The issue is that I am having no luck at all getting the formula to work when I have a comma seperated list in L5, does anyone have any idea how this formula above could be amended to be able to return the filter table with all of the items that are referenced in L5?
I had hoped I might be able to work it out but after going around and around in circles including trying CoPilot, I have had no luck at all.
