    Formulas to Return Information Amongst Various Cells

    I combined a few reports in Adobe, and then saved the file as an Excel file. To present a hypothetical example divulging or intimating the actual information on these files:

    The files provide a guide to property for sale.

    The files provide data on:

    Section I:
    1a: Date of Construction of Home
    1b: Last Consecutively Previous Renovation
    1c: Number of Renovations in the Last Ten Years
    2a: Size of Home
    2b: Width of Roof
    3a: Width of Attic
    3b: Height of Attic
    4a: Width of Basement
    4b: Height of Basement
    5a: Number of Rooms
    5b: Number of Bathrooms
    6a: Number of Windows
    6: Number of French Windows

    Section II:
    1(a): Distance to Closest Police Station
    1(b): Phone Number for Police Station for Other Than Emergency Calls
    2(a): Distance to Closest Fire Station
    2(b): Distance to Closest Hospital
    3(a) Size of Yard
    3(b) Other Items on Curtilage
    4(a) Size of Garage
    4(b) Size of Driveway
    5(a) Number of Trees on Curtilage
    5(b) Mailbox on Curtilage
    5(c) Mailbox on Edifice
    6(a) Castle Doctrine
    6(b) Imperfect Self-Defense
    7a: Last Resident
    7b: Length of Residence of Last Resident
    8a: Previous to Last Resident
    8b: Length of Residence of Last Resident
    9a: Number of Insurance Claims on Home
    9b: Number of Insurance Claims in Last Ten Years
    10a: Number of Insect Infestation Incidents Reported
    10b: Number of Cockroach Infestations Reported
    10c: Number of Termite Infestations Reported
    11a: Number of Fires Reported
    11b: Number of Fires Caused by Lightning
    12a: Seismic Activity Incidents Reported
    12b: Incidents of Serious Damage Reported Due to Seismic Activity

    The Excel version of the Adobe file provided a separate cell for, for example, 5a, and then populated Number of Trees on Curtilage in a cell to the right, followed by a third cell in this section populating the Number of Trees on Curtilage.

    I wanted to set up an Excel formula that would retrieve the Number of Trees on Curtilage for the various separate properties and do so on one sheet. I wanted to prevent various blank cells, just to retrieve the data from the adjacent cells to the cells that populated Number of Trees on Curtilage.

    The FILTER function seems helpful. However, I prefer to have additional methods.

    Re: Formulas to Return Information Amongst Various Cells

    I think I finally figured the situation.

    To make a dynamic, scalable range:

    =MATCH(B1,Info!B1:B5000,0)
    =MATCH(B2,INDIRECT("Info!"&"B"&(C1+1)&":"&"B5000"),0)+C1
    =MATCH(B3,INDIRECT("Info!"&"B"&(C2+1)&":"&"B5000"),0)+C2
    =MATCH(B4,INDIRECT("Info!"&"B"&(C3+1)&":"&"B5000"),0)+C3
