Searching values in rows

[PT]

Hi to all in the forum,

I have the following data in column A:

A1- TP688360
A2 - I-TP1618
A3 - TP679934
A4 - I-TP88
A5 - TP680781
A6 - I-TP2518
A7 - TP688817
A8 - TP688818
A9 - I-TP1618
A10 - TP688340

As you can see I have data staring with TPXXXX and on the next cell I have something started with I-TP1618. The TPXXXX is a baggage number, the I-TP1618 is the corresponding flight. What I pretend is put in column B in front of TPXXXX the corresponding flight. How can I do that?

Thanks.
Ismael

Hi Muz,

It works when i have just 1 baggage between flights. When we have more than one, doesn't work. See your cell A8 it should return I-TP1618.

Thanks.

Does this formula do what you want?

=IF(A2="","",IF(LEFT(A1)="T",VLOOKUP("I-*",A2:A$100,1,0),""))

The red highlighted text is an absolute reference to a cell that is at or below the last data item in Column A.

Hi Rick,

Yes it does. Thanks.
