First post, was following this site for a while, though never registered as I used to get results looking for, by searching the threads.

Rt now, am stuck with a large sheet which has data in the below format,

Sheet #1 :

In Sheet #2 the values against Date 1, Date 2... are the 'dd' part of Sheet 1 header date in format (dd/mm/yyyy). Criteria is wherever a "W" or "A" occurs the corresponsing date should be displayed against the Emp code (format is text).

Any urgent help will be appreciated. Hope my explanation is clear.
 

Excel Facts

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
Sorry what is the criteria for Sheet 2? in the row Peter on Sheet 1 you get:

Blank Blank W Blank A

and on Sheet 2 this becomes

3 5 Blank Blank Blank

I cant for the life of me see the logical link between the two perhaps you can explain in a different way

@energman : Sheet #1 is actually an attendance register where blanks stand for present, 'W' for weekly off and 'A' for absent.

So first row in Sheet #1 shows that Peter is on weekly off on 3rd, absent on 5th and present on all other days.

Now in Sheet #2 I need these dates where there is an "A" or a "W".

For instance Peter's Weekly Off and Absent dates, i.e. 3 and 5 against Date1 and Date2.

Does this make sense now ?

Ahhh!

So Date 1 Date 2 and Date 3 and so on are "the first time bill was off", "the second day bill was off" and so on

There is no difference between W and A for this purpose? You just want the date returned in the columns if either A or W is in the Sheet 1?

The following formula returns the top row of your array on Sheet1

Code:
=IF(ISERR(INDEX(Sheet1!$C$1:$G$1,SMALL(IF(ISBLANK(range),"",COLUMN(range)),B11)-COLUMN(range)+1)),"",INDEX($B$1:$G$1,SMALL(IF(ISBLANK(range),"",COLUMN(range)),B11)-COLUMN(range)+1))

You need to enter it as an array formula COntol Shift and Enter - if you have it right excel will add curly braces around it{}

You then need to copy this to teh right as far as you need - if you put it in C3 you need to copy it right and then copy the whole row down (a feature of array formulas)

B11 contains a number 1 which tells the formula it needs to find teh first value if you make C11 2, D11 3 and so on this will find the second date, third date etc.

Range is a range on Sheet 1 in which you are looking for your data W or A - I just did it this way to make it look a bit neater you probably need to replace this with your actual range as a reference so you can copy it across and down as far as you need. You will need to add some formula to extract the day from the date too.

Hope this helps

Assuming that the data on Sheet1 is in A1:G5 and the required processing in A1:G5 on Sheet2, with formulas in C2:G5...

C2, control+shift+enter, not just enter, copy across, and down:
Rich (BB code):
=IF(COLUMNS($C2:C2)<=SUM(COUNTIF(INDEX(Sheet1!$C$2:$G$5,
    MATCH($A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$5,0),0),{"A","W"})),
    SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(INDEX(Sheet1!$C$2:$G$5,
    MATCH($A2,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$5,0),0),{"A","W"},0)),
    COLUMN(Sheet1!$C$2:$G$5)-COLUMN(Sheet1!$C$2)+1),COLUMNS($C$2:C2)),"")

This can be made somewhat more efficient using an additional range on Sheet2 which allows us to avoid computing the same thing many times.

Wow!!! That was brilliant.

Thanks Aladin and energman.

@Aladin : as am a newbie, a little help in making me understand the formula (logic) you posted will really appreciated.

Can any one help me in explaining the formula @aladin suggested. Though it did my work, I do want to understand it.

Though I have used match and index functions before, never used small, column and coulmns function. I did some head scratching, but of no use. I understood, have got long way to go...
