Help in how to do this?
I am new in excel and I wanted to organize the data but I cannot find the right function to make it work.
Need a function to search through Column E for a value and return the texts from Columns A, B, C, D into a new set of columns whenever it strikes a match.
A B C D E Appl Text Text Text 3 Grap Text Text Text 2 Pear Text Text Text 1 Berr Text Text Text 2 Ora Text Text Text 1
For example searching for the value of 3 in Column E and returning the values into something like:
A B C D Appl Text Text Text Ban Text Text Text
Can you just filter on column E to get all the rows with 3?
For a formula approach, assuming your first table in A1:E5 try this formula in G1
=IFERROR(INDEX(A$1:A$5,SMALL(IF($E$1:$E$5=3,ROW(A$1:A$5)-ROW(A$1)+1),ROWS(G$1:G1))),"")
confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER and copied across and down as far as required - once matching rows run out you get blanks
see example here
Note: IFERROR requires Excel 2007 or later version, but this can be modified to work with earlier excel versions
