    Re: Find data

    it needs to find as many as is on the row then output them 1 at a time not all together

    so for example based on sheet linked, search for cell A7, once found check cells b7:J7 any found with a input(cells D,E,F 7) put cells D1 into L7, D2 into M7 and D3 into N7, as all 3 of the cells had a value, does that make sense?

    Re: Find data

    Use this in L2
    =if($A2=$C$15,index($A$1:$K$1, ArrayFormula(IF($A2=$C$15,small(IF($B2:$K2=$D$15,COLUMN($B2:$K2),""),COLUMN(A$1)),""))),"")
    and copy down and across...

    Re: Find data

    hey thanks for that it works but i think i can do it a easier way, dont need to match to start with all i need to do is say search cells D1 to D50, in any cell the has "HI" i want it to find the value above "HI" in say cell A1 to A50 then out the info to cells E1 to E15 for example, but there will be multiple instances of "HI" in the rows in random places and for each one it outputs to another cell, does this make sense?
