I am trying to pull data from a single large column into multiple columns that allow for easier comparison. I have attached the top few lines as an example to the layout. The spacing is not consistent, so a simple function wasn't working for me. I am thinking that there is a way to find a cell, such as "locus_tag" and copy/paste the contents immediately to the right. Thanks for the help.
Change J1 and K1 to match the terms in column D. Then use this, in J2, copied across and down:
=IFERROR(INDEX($E:$E,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($D$4:$D$50)/($D$4:$D$50=J$1),ROWS(J$2:J2))),"")

Re: Pull data from cells next to descriptor
Thank you so much Glenn. I can't even guess how many hours you just saved me.
Well you are about to get a double thanks because I just learned how to reply to a reply. I appreciate the quick help.
LoL. You're welcome.
If that takes care of your original question, please select "Thread Tools" from the menu link above and mark this thread as SOLVED.

As an alternative, since you are using O365, you could also do this:
In cell J2:
=FILTER($E:$E,$D:$D=J1)
Then just copy across (you do not need to copy down because it will SPILL down).
Folks: Please see new thread that shows a new wrinkle on this problem. Maybe you can help there.
