Hi,

I have a table which looks like this:
Libro2
BCDEFGHIJKL
2TestTest1Test2Test3Test4Test5Test6Test7Test8Test9Test10
3Juan10%0%10%0%0%0%0%0%0%0%
4Antonio0%10%0%10%0%10%0%10%0%0%
5Fernando0%0%10%0%10%0%10%10%0%0%
6Andres0%0%0%0%0%10%0%0%0%0%
7Felipe10%0%10%10%10%0%0%0%0%0%
Hoja1


What I want is a macro or formulas in which i can chosse or write a name in a cell and it will bring me the HEADINGS AND RESULTS for the values that are not 0 that correspond to that name. Like this:
Libro2
BCDEF
11Test3Test5Test7Test8
12Fernando10%10%10%10%
Hoja1


Basically this is so i can extract the information cleanly from very large table and crete a graph.

Thanks for Any Help!!
 

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
Why exactly do you want to exclude the tests that haven't been taken ?
It seems to me that it MIGHT be easier to understand the charts that you are going to create, if they all have a consistent series of test names on the X axis.

I've got an answer for you. The result looks like this:

The solution uses both array formulas (confirmed by hitting CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER) and named ranges.

1. Cell A12: set it up for data validation, allowing values from a list, and select the list of student names.

2. Named ranges
. a. The named range called "thetests" is defined by the formula:
Code:
=OFFSET(juajar!$B$2,0,0,1,COUNTA(juajar!$2:$2)-1)
which selects the names of all the tests identified in row 2. This will work even if you add more tests, as long as there are no gaps.
. b. The named range called "thedata" is defined by the formula:
Code:
=OFFSET(juajar!$B$2,MATCH(juajar!$A$12,juajar!$A$3:$A$7,0),0,1,COUNT(juajar!$3:$3))
This code takes the name in cell A12 and looks for it in cells A3:A7, then chooses the test results on the corresponding row.

3. Formulas
The formulas you see in rows 11 and 12 use these named ranges, so they must be entered correctly. For row 11, select all the cells you need, enter the formula in the formula bar, and confirm it all with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER. Row 12 is not an array formula; enter the formula in cell B12 and copy across.
