Hello,

I have a table of data that contains multiple geographies like Atlanta, Cincinnati, San Francisco, etc.....each geography can have a variable number of rows of data that relate weeks and some weeks can be repeated for the same geography.

I have a dropdown that is looking up the list of geographies and I want to display the unique weeks (actually a starting date) that is in the table for whatever geography was selected in the dropdown.

Right now I have a formula that is this:

=INDEX($C$3:$C$61000, MATCH(0, COUNTIF($BJ$2:BJ2, $C$3:$C$61000), 0))

The problem is that this only gives me the unique weeks for the entire table of C3:C61000 regardless of geography.

I need to modify that formula to account for the specific geography that I am looking for.

In this case the geographies are in column E.

Any help would be appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Anybody out there that can help me with this?

Thanks.
