    I am working on a project plan where I will need three diff types of skills, may a stand alone or in combination. So may be for Task 1, week 1 I will need "X" only for week 3 I will need all three X,Y and Z.
    Now I wish to extract staffing plan showing week wise loading for each resource.

    The staffing table From row 10, should populate the resource type from project plan depending upon the resource indiated in column A10 to A12

    I tried lookup, match, index and isnumber.....nothing worked or infact I am not able to make use of it..

    then, in order to hide the zeroes, either use Conditional Formatting or format the cells as Custom format > "General;General;" (without quotes).

    CSE, aka Array aka { }, formulae are confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER.
    Replace commas ( , ) with semicolons ( ; ) in formulae, if your locale setting demands.
    All good ideas are courtesy resources from this forum as well as others around the web.
