Complex lookup

[horrellbt01]

I am trying to figure out a rather complex lookup.

Here is an example set of data.


A B C D E F

1

2

3

4 X

5 2 3


What i need to do is the following:

If there is an X in Range B3:F5, then I want to return whatever is in column A of that same row and row one of the same column.
So in my example above, there is an X in D4. I would want to return the value of A4 in one cell, and D1 in another. So probably looking at 2 different formulas.

Thought maybe INDEX and MATCH would work, but so far have not been able to work it out.

How about

	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K
1			Column 1	Column 2	Column 3	Column 4	Column 5			List of Result 1	List of Result 2
2	Row 1		1	3	7	9	2			Row 2	Column 5
3	Row 2		0	0	3	2	X			Row 3	Column 1
4	Row 3		X	X	1	5	8			Row 3	Column 2
5	Row 4		6	0	0	6	5			Row 5	Column 4
6	Row 5		0	1	8	X	7

They are the same result, it is only another order:

Mine

Result 2 -1
Result 2 -2
Result 2 -4
Result 2 -5



Yours

Result 2 -5
Result 2 -1
Result 2 -2
Result 2 -4


I don't understand what order you need.

The order I placed is in order of appearance (left to right), and the first to appear is that of column C, then D, then F and last G.

The same for results 1, the order is from top to bottom.


I guess you want a search from left to right and top to bottom.
C2,D2,E2,F2,G2 then C3,D3,E3,F3,G3, etc.

This worked perfectly, even after I modified it to my data set (meaning I did not screw it up!)

Thank you very much!

You're welcome & thanks for the feedback.

One thing I should have mentioned, is that it will only work if the values in col A are unique.

Try this:

I did some tests and it works even with duplicates in column A.
