User1User1User1User1User1
User2User2User2

Any help is much appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Just checking, but I'm assuming/hoping that the cells in red are mistakes, because otherwise I'm a little lost....

Agree with Dan_W, the red cells should be a mistake...


Below formula should do the trick.

=IFERROR(INDEX(A$1:A$8,MATCH($A12;A$1:A$8,0),0),"")

Thanks Skovgaard,
that works perfectly. Just one correction in case someone else is ever looking at this:
=IFERROR(INDEX(A$1:A$8,MATCH($A12;A$1:A$8,0),0),"") Previous
=IFERROR(INDEX(A$1:A$8,MATCH($A12,A$1:A$8,0),0),"") Current
In case it's not obvious there is a semicolon in the MATCH which should be a comma.

Thanks for your help.

You're Welcome 👍

Sorry, missed to correct one semicolon with comma, In my country we use the semicolon instead of comma 😁
