    Formula to Find multiple values on table and place them in a cell.

    I was wonder if anyone could help me I have reading for hours and I have know Idea how I would do this.

    I am attempting to make a measurement chart. I need all the values for all sizes placed in one cell.
    I have a SKU "ABC-XL "and a SKU "ABC-L" I have striped the sizes and now have 2 "ABC"'s ( Bare SKU's).
    The first thing I would think I need to do is match all the Bare SKU's and then pull the sizing information.

    Example of the sheet of the data I uploaded:

    ABC Chest 22 Length 29 Shoulder 19 Size2 Medium Sleeve 22
    ABC Chest 23.5 Length 29.5 Shoulder 19.5 Size2 Large Sleeve 23

    If I could get some help to get a result like this in one cell I would really appreciate it;
    Medium 19 22 22 29 Large 19.5 23.5 23 29.5
    I think this would work??

    What my plan is to convert this into html (I think I can get the html part done myself) cell called "Measurements"

    I really don't know how to proceed any help would be much appreciated.

    I think all I need is the formula to find the same "Bare Sku's" and grab all the info.

    I hope I explained the problem adequately .
    I have uploaded an example file for anyone who can help me.

    I thank you for looking at my issue and would greatly appreciate any advice or help!!

    It is unclear what you really want...

    assuming you want this:
    Medium 19 22 22 29
    Large 19.5 23.5 23 29.5
    try in a new column row 2:

    =O2&" "&K2&" "&G2&" "&Q2&" "&I2

    copied down...
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Sorry. I think I was just way to tired and frustrated last night.

    I wish it were that easy.

    What I need to do something with INDEX and MATCH I think.

    If some wanted to help and maybe discuss what I need. I would be more than happy to give them a $50 gift certificate to our website (We sell Men's Apparel).

    Try posting a sample showing what you have and what some expected results would look like.

    I just uploaded a file showing an example of what I would love to see happen.

    My head is about to explode if I try to work on it anymore.

    I'm not sure if this will even work.

    I'm very Hopeful! Thanks a lot for time and looking at this for me.

    I am not sure where to start... I am a bit confused by your presentation. You've got a whole mix of things there. I am not sure that all you need is easily possible and that I can spare all the required time on it.

    Perhaps we can take baby steps and see where we go... What is the first step you need done?

    Thanks for looking!
    I know! I wasn't kidding about my head ready to explode. It sucks I really would like this information.

    Would you know how to get say all the chest information in one cell?
    example for Chest:

    (in one cell(Small: 19", Medium: 20", Large: 21", Xlarge, 22"))

    I'm not sure if you do this, but would you be interested in maybe bartering/cash? For your services?

    Re: Formula to Find multiple values on table and place them in a cell.

    I am not really in this for the money.. I do it as a hobby and to help others... You can always donate to a charity if you feel so inclined.. I've got 2 listed in my signature.... but let's wait for that...

    We can probably get it in one cell after first getting the info in various organized cells and then concatenating the information together.

    I want to start with a clean slate and I am a visual person.. I like to see what I am aiming towards.... If you can show what you have and what exactly needs to be extracted in a fashion you want to see it in, then perhaps that is a start (show where the info came from). The attachment you had, showed to much stuff, and it was confusing....

    I am off to bed soon, so won't probably be doing too much tonight (I am on Eastern Time).

    Is there a formula to get the row's for multiple matching cell's?

    a
    1 X
    2 X
    3 X
    4 Y


    X=1:1 2:2 3:3

    Thats the first part I think I need.

    Re: Formula to Find multiple values on table and place them in a cell.

    If you have that data say in A2:A5 (where A2 contains the first X) then:

    =SMALL(IF($A$2:$A$5="X",ROW($A$2:$A$5)-ROW($A$2)+1),COLUMNS($A$1:A$1))

    this formula is to be confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER not just ENTER and copied across.

    Thanks.
    Should I be getting a value of 1?
    I've tried the formula several times and I keep getting 1 in all cells I copy it too.

    Re: Formula to Find multiple values on table and place them in a cell.

    After you enter the formula in the first cell, hold the CTRL and SHIFT keys down and press ENTER.. You should see { } brackets appear around the formula.

    Now copy it across horizontally.

    Re: Formula to Find multiple values on table and place them in a cell.

    Sorry, I must not be all there today.

    I put the X's in rows A2,A3,A4 and a Y in row A5.
    I've tried putting the formula =SMALL(IF($A$2:$A$5="X",ROW($A$2:$A$5)-ROW($A$2)+1),COLUMNS($A$1:A$1))
    I hold the CTRL and SHIFT keys down and press ENTER the formula is encased with the "{}"

    I have put it in Cell's and get in each cell A1=1, A7-A19=1, B1-B11=2, C1-C10=3

    I have know Idea what I'm doing wrong.
    Sorry, I don't want to waste your time.

    See attached for what I mean.

    The formula is entered in A7, confirmed with the C-S-E keys and then copied to B7 and C7.

    Sorry! I didn't get it at first.

    I don't think I can tackle this. Its way over my head.
    I was wonder if you could refer me to someone who might be interested in this job for payment? I really would like to get this done as quickly as possible.

    You can post in the Commercial Exchange Services forum... for paid services.

    Can you show a before and after version (two separate sheets), so it is possible to see where you want to be?

    If I were you and you want someone to complete the whole project for you, I'd post in the Commercial Exchange Forum or hire an online consultant... I don't have the time or brainpower do decipher what you want done here.
