I am trying to extract / filter a list of names based on if a player is attending. For example if Player A is FALSE(not playing) only show the last 3 pairs highlighted in the example below.

I have a list of names of players. Column A (Players) Column B (Attending T / F)

- Player A - FALSE
- Player B - TRUE
- Player C - TRUE
- Player D - TRUE

I then have a list of pairs for example. Column D (Pairs not played)

- Player A & Player B
- Player A & Player C
- Player A & Player D
- Player B & Player C
- Player B & Player D
- Player C & Player D


Thus far I have
Excel Formula:
=VLOOKUP("*"&J2&"*",$M$2:$M$104,1,FALSE)

For example Kim and Kimberley are 2 different values.

Any ideas?

Unfortunately my version of Office doesn't support BB2XL
Your profile shows Microsoft 365 on a Windows platform. That combination certainly supports XL2BB (you will see that both Stephen and I have that same combination and have both used XL2BB in this thread). What indication do you have that it is not supported in yours?

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).

When I have gone to the download tab and extracted the file and try to run it wants to open Excel locally on the PC. I use the online version only not the local one which is where I think the problem lies.

I also cannot run macros on the version I am using.
