Hi guys,

I'm not that good at Excel but I've been tasked with making some improvements on a document.

In this case I am looking to create IF formulas (I believe that is the right one?) to show certain selections (competencies in this case, it's for recruiting) based on the position level that is selected.

In other words, based on the selection of cell B1 in sheet "Front End", to automatically populate Competencies 1-4 (A4, A9, A14, A19) based on the competencies that are listed for each level in the "Positions Levels" sheet (there are three level brackets with each having their own 4 competencies).

Another thing I'd like to do is not only to have the specific competencies automatically filled in for each level bracket as I just explained, but also have a different set of questions to choose from for each competency with different questions that could show up based on not only the competency but also the level the competency is attached to. For example, Valuing Differences under level 1-6 could have a choice of 5 questions and if you choose levels 7-8 and use Valuing Differences again (based on the formula discussed above it should also show up since it's present in all level brackets) it could have a choice of 5 questions again but maybe because it's in a higher level brackets we could have different questions or just 1-2 that are different from levels 1-6?

I hope I explained myself okay. I don't believe this document was created properly the first time around and I'm sure some excel experts could do it better for sure. Let me know your feedback on this it would be greatly appreciated

MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.

Hi, my apologies I had no idea the sites were linked at all that never even occured to me.

What do I do now then? Can this be unlocked and I can edit my original post to add the cross-post link?
