Hi.

I have this formula, which identifies the closest events to me from a table that contains a list of distances in column I:

=IFERROR(LET(f,FILTER('parkrun Reader Dump'!B3:J10002,('parkrun Reader Dump'!K3:K10002="")*('parkrun Reader Dump'!N3:N10002=1)*('parkrun Reader Dump'!O3:O10002=1)*('parkrun Reader Dump'!P3:P10002=1)*('parkrun Reader Dump'!AS3:AS10002<>1)*('parkrun Reader Dump'!I3:I10002<200)),SORT(INDEX(f,SEQUENCE(50),{8,9,1}),1)),"")

This works perfectly, but I now want to do the same, but pick up slightly different columns (the one for volunteering (R)), but it isn’t working for me. I have put below what I think it should be, but isn’t working:

=IFERROR(LET(f,FILTER('parkrun Reader Dump'!B3:J10002,('parkrun Reader Dump'!R3:R10002="")*('parkrun Reader Dump'!N3:N10002=1)*('parkrun Reader Dump'!O3:O10002=1)*('parkrun Reader Dump'!AS3:AS10002<>1)*('parkrun Reader Dump'!I3:I10002<200)),SORT(INDEX(f,SEQUENCE(50),{8,9,1}),1)),"")

This is what I amended:
  • I swapped K to the relevant column R
  • I removed the reference to the P column (as it isn’t needed for this one)
I’m guessing it’s the part in curly brackets ({8,9,1}) that it wrong, but I don’t know what that is doing, so am not sure how it would be amended.

Thanks in advance!

Olly.
 
Probably just pure coincidence, if it is actually working.
Yes, you have inadvertently just found an issue with the original one! I just tested it on the original one, by amending to your way, and it is now working correctly. I thought it was previously, but I can now see ones that it had indeed been missing out. Thanks again, this has been a big help! I hadn't bothered you for at least a few weeks! 😬
