I am trying to build a mapping table as a cross reference of what reports use a data element.
I already have the cross reference of which data elements are used in a report seen in screen shot 1. The column heading C2:I2 represents the data elements.
Trying to build a formula or VBA to show what reports B3:B are impacted by a data element as in screen shot 2.
My data is approx. 1400 columns by a few hundred rows. Doing this manually and every time the sheet changes would be extremely time consuming.

So in my example when an "X" appears in a cell for a given column therefore the Report in columns B is impacted by the element which is named as the column heading.
I tried with pivot tables and even INDEX MATCH but couldn't resolve.

Any thoughts 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.

try this... assume have 4 sheets in one workbook. sheets raw, fm2, fm3, summary1. Please see the bottom about the summary and copy paste transpose. Feel free to copy paste your data, not image, if you have futher questions.

here is the example data in sheet raw. raw is where you put the X in each cell

@bobaol , this worked perfectly. However I do want to point out a couple things in your example that should be corrected for future reference.
In tab fm3 column F

sheet fm3, notice, i copied the formulas all the way to row 999. assumes you have no more than 999 rows.
''cell A1 in sheet fm3
=IF(raw!A2="","",raw!A2)=IF(raw!B2="","",raw!B2)=IF(raw!C2="","",raw!C2)=IF(raw!D2="","",raw!D2)=IF(raw!E2="","",raw!E2)=IF(raw!F2="","",raw!F2)
=IF(raw!A3="","",raw!A3)=IF(raw!B3="","",raw!B3)='fm2'!C3='fm2'!D3='fm2'!E3='fm2'!F3
=IF(raw!A4="","",raw!A4)=IF(raw!B4="","",raw!B4)=C3&'fm2'!C4=D3&'fm2'!D4=E3&'fm2'!E4=F3&'fm2'!F4
=IF(raw!A5="","",raw!A5)=IF(raw!B5="","",raw!B5)=C4&'fm2'!C5=D4&'fm2'!D5=E4&'fm2'!E5=F4&'fm2'!F5
=IF(raw!A6="","",raw!A6)=IF(raw!B6="","",raw!B6)=C5&'fm2'!C6=D5&'fm2'!D6=E5&'fm2'!E6=F5&'fm2'!F6
=IF(raw!A7="","",raw!A7)=IF(raw!B7="","",raw!B7)=C6&'fm2'!C7=D6&'fm2'!D7=E6&'fm2'!E7=F6&'fm2'!F7
=IF(raw!A8="","",raw!A8)=IF(raw!B8="","",raw!B8)=C7&'fm2'!C8=D7&'fm2'!D8=E7&'fm2'!E8=F7&'fm2'!F8
=IF(raw!A9="","",raw!A9)=IF(raw!B9="","",raw!B9)=C8&'fm2'!C9=D8&'fm2'!D9=E8&'fm2'!E9=F8&'fm2'!F9
'cell A999=C998&'fm2'!C999=D998&'fm2'!D999=E998&'fm2'!E999=F998&'fm2'!F999

Then after creating summary tab, copy row 1 from sheet raw and paste to row 1 in summary.
Copy row 999 from tab fm3 and paste values to row 2 in summary.
Copy summary rows 1 & 2 then paste transpose to summary!A4

Thanks again.

Alex,

I did look at Power Query but not proficient in it so I will give this a try and learn something. Thanks.

Let me know if you want me to step you through either copying in the code I gave you or a step by step walk through of the how to do it in PQ.
The only part that needed a manual tweak was that the Grouped Row step creates a column containing a table and in the Added Custom (Column) step only lets you click on the column name and you then need to add to that the actual field name in that mini table ie in [Rpt][Report] in the dialogue box where I selected Rpt I typed in the [Report} part.
PS: PQ will automatically add a Change Type step - make sure you delete that step.
