Hi guys!,
Seems like a simple formula but has me stumped basicaly if a cell text equals "away" I want the formula to go to the next cell within the group and use that unless that is also displaying "away"

HI
Excel always evaluates the conditions in order, so if the first condition is true it will always display irrespective of the validity of the second.
If you try somethng like thisit should evaluate correctly.

Thankyou! now i just have to incorporate it with
=IF(L6="Yasmina","Kendra",IF(L6="Kendra","Lauren",IF(L6="Lauren","Terence",IF(L6="Terence","Alycia",IF(L6="Alycia","Terence")))))
Tried this;
=IF(AND(B7="AWAY",B8="away"),A9,IF(B7="AWAY",A8,IF(L7="Yasmina","Kendra",IF(L7="Kendra","Lauren",IF(L7="Lauren","Terence",IF(L7="Terence","Alycia",IF(L7="Alycia","Terence")))))))
But it doesnt ignore and move on to next person when i selected them away
Would a DCOUNT formula be better? Not that I know how to use that either :D
If B3:B21 contain "away" (or not), then the first cell in A3:A21 next to a cell that isn't "away" is
=index(A3:A21, match(true, B3:B21 <> "away", 0))
This is an array formula, meaning it MUST be confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, not just Enter. (With the cursor in the formula bar, hold down Ctrl and Shift, then press Enter.) You'll know you did it correctly if curly braces appear around the formula in the Formula Bar; you cannot type in the braces directly.

Entia non sunt multiplicanda sine necessitate
Hi
Given the number of variables involved it may probably be a better option to use VBA to determine the desired outcome.
You could link the code to a button and it should probably be a lot more flexible too.
If you would like to look at this let me know and I will see what I can do.

Thanks I have tried that formula and It works, but I was wondering can I include special condiotions eg so if l6 =yasmina then l7 would equal "kendra" if not away then go down the list to the next person so the one person isnt named twice on the same day as is the current problem, and if kelly away then then it would go back to only the people in that group a5:a10

I can't tell exactly what you're trying to do ...
Hopefully this attachment helps
Basicaly Im creating a roster that will automaticaly change according to selections so if
yasmina is away when it is her turn to work only the people selected in that group are able to do her shift
