    2 Column Search Options then Show Results (Google Sheets)

    Need your expert advise on how to do this in EXCEL version 2019

    If User will choose to search for data for Team A in Column A, Row 1 (A1), all the information for selected Team A member will show in A5:D5 with column headers. If User will choose to search for data for Team B in Column B, Row 2 (B1), all the information for selected Team B member will show in A5:D5 as well with column headers. For instance, if User searches info for John in A1, all data for John will show in A6 while if User searches info for Donna in B1, all data for Donna will show in A6 too.

    Please try at A6

    =INDEX((G$20:G$23,G$27:G$30),MATCH(INDEX($A$1:$B$1,CELL("col")),INDEX(($G$20:$G$23,$G$27:$G$30),,,CELL("col")),),,CELL("col"))

    Hi Bo_Ry,

    I tried it in Google Sheets but it didn't work, I've been trying to solve it but could not. Why would it give me an "ERROR Formula Parse Error" in Google Sheets but not in Excel. hope you could help. here is the link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

    Hi Popipipo,

    User should be able to use A1 and B1 cells.

    In this case, A1 cell should look only in Team A data while if User needs to look at Team B data, then User should type in B1 cell. In Excel, the formula shared by Bo_Ry works but it doesn't work in Google Sheet which I need to use it there too. In Google Sheet, it gives me "ERROR Formula Parse Error".

    Sorry for the interjection, but how has this evolved into a Google Sheets issue?

    Hi AliGW,

    Good day! I would like the users to be able to find data using both Excel and Google Sheets. In Excel, it works but in Google Sheets, it's giving me that "...Parse Error".

    OK - as this is now more about Google Sheets, I'm moving it to the appropriate section.
