    insert text if criteria met

    Hello everyone,

    Can anyone help me please?

    I need a formula that will look between columns AX:BI for the amount of 500 and if this criteria is met to then copy the text from AE to where the formula is on a different sheet (same workbook).

    I would prefer for all the returning text to read as a list with no blanks.

    In other words i would prefer to not have a list full of blanks where there has been no 500 in AX:BI.

    To quickly explain the relevance:

    AX:BI shows funding, these are various amounts but the 500 is the startup grant for the business. there is no text in these columns. If there are blanks then the business did not get a grant to startup or have just enquired.

    AE is the type of business that is intended to be started. This is always text.


    Any ideas guys? once again thanks for your time and help.

    Try something like:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    you will need to adjust sheet name and ranges to suit.. (don't change this part though...ROWS($A$1:$A1) )

    Then you must confirm the formula with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER not just ENTER.. you will see { } brackets appear.

    Then copy the formula down as far as you desire...

    Note: You cannot use whole column references, like AE:AE in this formula...
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Just a quick query,

    The number 1000 next to 500 in the formula, what is that for?

    That was my sample range size... you need to adjust that to ensure you capture all your data.

    Note that I also start all my ranges at row 5.. you may or may not need to change that too.
