I have a table, created in Excel 2010 under Windows 7. The image of an example is below.
The table has a list of components down column A, one component per row.
The table has a list of products across the top row, one product per column.
If the component appears in a product, there is an X in the table. Otherwise, the table cel is empty.
Is there a way that I can do a VLOOKUP on the component value, and have Excel return the names of each product in which the component appears? That is, for a given component (row), I want to report every product (column) that contains a value of X (or non-empty cel).
VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, [range_lookup])
I understand that this would require manipulation of the "col_index_num" field.
Thanks for any feedback! I have cross-posted to excelforum and techarena. Any helpful reply will be shared with due credit. I'll also mark these threads as solved once a solution can be described.
