Hi there,

I'm working on a self-scheduling sheet for a group of 30 employees and I'm trying to figure out how to match two criteria and it populate a single name (index:match type of function except you're matching for possibility of two). Example:
Everyone signs up in column B for Mondays shift and I want to search that column for either 2100B or 2100C and it populate the name that matches that specification in a single cell.

I've attached an example of the spreadsheet I'm working on. Any and all guidance is appreciated.

Upload sample data using XL2BB utility. Can't work with screenshots to populate formulae.

This is a better version because UG 61 isn't formulated in the first response. Thank you for any and all help :)

See if this works for you -

Excel Formula:
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$3:$AY$51,MATCH("2100B",UF$3:UF$51,0),1),INDEX($B$3:$AY$51,MATCH("2100C",UF$3:UF$51,0),1))

That works beautifully! Thank you so much!

The same formula should work if I change 2100b and 2100c to 12p and 24 right? I've been trying to plug it in other columns with those changes but only 12p is resulting in a name, 24 is saying #NA. Thank you again for your help!

I figured it out, if I remove the quotation marks from the 24 or add a letter to the 24 in quotation marks, then it counts it. Thank you so much for your help! :)
