Really not sure where to start with this one. I have multiple criteria that need to be met, and if met, I want a formula that's going to return the corresponding data in B:B of the first instance of that being correct. I'd then like the formula to be able to be dragged down to produce the second, third, fourth etc occurrence. The criteria are below in a previously used countifs formula.

COUNTIFS($A:$A,$BI$11,$C:$C,$BJ$11,$D:$D,$BK$11,G:$G,$BL11)

Hoping someone can assist. Big thanks!

I don't think it'll be a count function. Perhaps an index match but will need to match multiple criteria. My big unresolved issue is how the formula will be able to return the first occurrence, and then be able to be dragged down to list additional occurrences.

Well without seeing what the data or results look like I'd assume that would place a 1,2 etc next to each occurrence

Hoping this works. I've mocked something up. In this case with the selected criteria, the results should be:
I16 = London
I17 = Berlin

With a helper column:

E2, dragged down:=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A2,$I$11,$C$2:$C2,$J$11,$D$2:$D2,RIGHT($K$11,1),$G$2:$G2,$L$11)
I16, dragged down:=IFERROR(INDEX(B:B,MATCH(ROW(A1),E:E,0),1),"")

Awesome. Any chance you could show me how to amend if column G isn't needed. I had that in there as a helper column myself, but that's clearly not needed. I'll put the Count Column in column G instead. L11 obviously isn't needed anymore either.

All good, think I've worked it out. Thanks again for your time.
