    Return Column Header for Cell Range that equals "1"

    Good Morning All,

    I've tried numerous Index, VLOOKUP, MATCH, HLOOKUP functions to try and make this work. UNfortunately, I can't.

    If there is a macro, that'd be awesome.

    The problem I'm having is that I'd like to have a column header be returned for rows of data by looking at a particular cell range and only return the column header that contains the value "1".

    I've attached a file to show you my dilemma.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,

    Not sure why you're using text rather than numeric entries, but anyway, in G18 and copy down:

    =INDEX($G$1:$K$1,MATCH("1",INDEX($G$2:$K$11,MATCH(B18&E18&F18,INDEX($B$2:$B$11&$E$2:$E$11&$F$2:$F$11,,),0),),0))

    Thank you, XOR LX
    I tried that input but it unfortunately didn't work. It showed up as N/A.
    I can certainly change the numbers-format from Text to Number.
    If I do that, would it help shorten the formula?

    I used precisely the workbook that you posted and works fine for me.

    P.S. You don't mention how you will resolve the issue in cases of more than one "1" per person. Tim Rick, for example, has 1s in columns for M4 and M7.

    Thank you, XOR LX!
    It worked for me, finally.
    I just copied/pasted the attributes first before I did the formula.
    Good question about the multiple cell values. I am uncertain as to what to do with it as of yet.
    I'd like 2 rows with each Error on their individual rows.
    But thank you. I really appreciate your help!

    Re: Return Column Header for Cell Range that equals "1"

    Good morning again, all.
    XOR LX, thank you for the recommendation.
    However, it gets a little cumbersome doing the formula each time since the rows continue to change.
    I'd realllllly prefer putting the error-table on its own tab and a macro to lookup/match.
    Is there any way that can be done?
