    Names of Failure Students to be Automatically Shown in the list of failures

    Hi everybody,

    I prepared an excel spreadsheet for my students. It contains their marks and grades. The spreadsheet is divided into to worksheets. The first contains their marks and grades and in the second worksheet i want to include a list of those who failed. Would you please help me in finding a suitable function which will automatically add the names and data of failure students into the second worksheet. I do not want the list of failures to include any blank rows. For example, if I passed one of those who failed, his name will disappear from the list of failures and the row itself will be removed. I attached my spreadsheet so that you will get a clearer idea.

    I really thank you for your work and your functions were of great help to me. Thanks indeed. One more request, If I send you a protected excel spreadsheet, Is it possible to unprotect it?

    The short answer is I don't know. That is not something I have had much experience with. It may be possible but I just dont have the answer for you.

    does this help

    EDIT
    Just seen you had a reply- I had a not refreshed the page - so missed that

    anyway the function is there and pulling out based on the F grade - but can be changed to work on mark values

    Re: Names of Failure Students to be Automatically Shown in the list of failures

    here is the array formula
    =IF(ISERROR(INDEX(Marks!$A$3:$D$51, MATCH(0, COUNTIF($B$2:$B2, Marks!$B$3:$B$51)+(Marks!$E$3:$E$51<>"F"), 0), COLUMN(B1))),"",INDEX(Marks!$A$3:$D$51, MATCH(0, COUNTIF($B$2:$B2, Marks!$B$3:$B$51)+(Marks!$E$3:$E$51<>"F"), 0), COLUMN(B1)))

    and to change from the grade to the mark - you need to alter

    =IF(ISERROR(INDEX(Marks!$A$3:$D$51, MATCH(0, COUNTIF($B$2:$B2, Marks!$B$3:$B$51)+(Marks!$E$3:$E$51<>"F"), 0), COLUMN(B1))),"",INDEX(Marks!$A$3:$D$51, MATCH(0, COUNTIF($B$2:$B2, Marks!$B$3:$B$51)+(Marks!$E$3:$E$51<>"F"), 0), COLUMN(B1)))

    you need to change to the value of the mark - NOW for some reason , i have this working backwards !!!!!
    =IF(ISERROR(INDEX(Marks!$A$3:$D$51, MATCH(0, COUNTIF($B$2:$B2, Marks!$B$3:$B$51)+(Marks!$D$3:$D$51>59), 0), COLUMN(B1))),"",INDEX(Marks!$A$3:$D$51, MATCH(0, COUNTIF($B$2:$B2, Marks!$B$3:$B$51)+(Marks!$D$3:$D$51>59), 0), COLUMN(B1)))

    and needs to then be entered as an array - so using shift+control+enter keys - to get {} brackets around the formula
