    Question Rotating list of names

    I appreciate the help on this current issue.
    I have a list of names that are in column A. The list is to exist in a continues rotating manor where individual names will remain until they opt in, at which point they will move to the bottom of said list. I would like to create a function so that when the individual in that column chooses to opt in or say yes they will be removed from their current position in the list and placed at the bottom of the list, also the rest of the list should move up in response to the move. Thank you for the help.

    Re: Rotating list of names

    Is 16.16.27 Excel 2016? If so, please amend to show Excel 2016.... otherwise..

    Hi. Before we get going on this one...

    Is your forum profile showing the Excel PRODUCT that you need this request to work with?

    The best solutions often rely on knowing WHICH Office PRODUCT (Excel, NOT Windows) that you have. Please check that your forum profile is up-to-date. If you aren't sure, in Excel go to File/Account and report what it says below the MS logo at the top of that page. If your version is for Mac, please also state this.

    The three most recent Excel PRODUCTS are Excel 2019, Excel 2021 and MS365 - if you are using MS365, please give this name along with the Version number in your profile (e.g. MS365 (PC) Version 2211). The version number is in the About Excel section further down the Account page.

    Cheers,

    Glenn.

    Re: Rotating list of names

    Pity... O365 could have been:

    =LET(A,A2:A11,B,B2:B11,VSTACK(FILTER(A,B=""),FILTER(A,B<>"")))

    for you,

    =IFERROR(INDEX(A:A,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($A$2:$A$11)/($B$2:$B$11=""),ROWS(E$2:E2))),INDEX(A:A,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($A$2:$A$11)/($B$2:$B$11<>""),ROWS(E$2:E2)-COUNTIF($B$2:$B$11,""))))

    copied down??

    This is my understanding of your description. If not, post a sample Excel file

    Re: Rotating list of names

    That is pretty close but is it possible to run it in the same column? So it can keep rotating? This is an example of what we are attempting to accomplish.

    Re: Rotating list of names

    Using a formula... no. A cell can contain a value, or a formula, but NOT both.

    Unless VBA is allowed. Is it? If yes, I will move your thread.

    If VBA will make that work than the way we are attempting to then that is perfect, thank you. I apologize we are not as advanced with the language and functions.
