Hello,
I am looking for a couple formulas to solve this issue, but one would be even better. I took a two formula approach in the example below. 1st formula will find rows in column A that begin with a defined letter, such as "M" in the example below, and then return a value in a different column from that same row. Basically a vlookup, but specifying the starting letter of the lookup value instead of the entire cell value. This done in two columns next to each other (Step 1 - Columns F&G) and then I need a 2nd formula that takes columns F&G and consolidates them into two other columns (Step 2-Columns J&K). Columns A,B,C is the current state.
I have:
<colgroup><col span="12"></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>
Thank you!
