List all results from a table that match a value

[Dmobbs]

Hi,

I am trying to make a list based on the values in a table.

In Row A I have a list of locations, in Column 1 I have a list of departments. Within the table I have various cells with "Pass" written in.

I am looking for a way to list all the departments of each location that have "pass".

e.g. if Cell C2, D5, E3 and E7 all have Pass I would like the list to include "A2 C1", "A5 D1", "A3 E1" & "A7 E1"

Thank you in advance.

You talk about row A and column 1.
Row A ? You mean column A surely ?
Column 1 ? You mean row 1 don't you ?
Columns go up and down like the column in a newspaper or the column that supports a building.
Rows go across.

Post the data so we know exactly what you mean.

Sorry, Monday morning

As a shortened example. If I have the table below.

	North	South	East	West
Sales		Pass
Technical	Pass			Pass
Services			Pass
Commercial
Finance				Pass

<tbody>
</tbody>

I am looking to have a way to automatically create the following list

North Technical
South Sales
East Services
West Technical
West Finance

Then create a new list if the cells which have returned a Pass result change.

is that what you want?

if so try PowerQuery

Type	North	South	East	West		Region	Type	Value
Sales		Pass				South	Sales	Pass
Technical	Pass			Pass		North	Technical	Pass
Services			Pass			West	Technical	Pass
Commercial						East	Services	Pass
Finance				Pass		West	Finance	Pass

[SIZE=1]let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table10"]}[Content],
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source, {"Type"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Unpivoted Other Columns",{"Attribute", "Type", "Value"}),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Reordered Columns",{{"Attribute", "Region"}})
in
    #"Renamed Columns"[/SIZE]

That is what I want, I am very new to PowerQuery. I managed to use the getdata function to create the original table for loads of other tables but now struggling to follow the recommendation above.

Hm,
add header to source table (here: Type)
Select whole source table (here blue) then use from the ribbon Data - From Table
it will open new window PowerQuery Editor
select column Type then UnPivot Other Columns (from the ribbon or from right click menu)
Re-order columns as you want and rename headers as you want
then from the ribbon use Close & Load

hope it's clear
