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.

Sorry - My example did not keep the formatting. Working on a picture now.

You cant attach files on this forum. There are tools on this forum for adding small spreadsheet images

How about

Book1
	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H
1	A	B	C	D	E	F
2	1						Column	D
3	2						Row	4
4	3
5	4			X

Cell Formulas
Range	Formula
H2	=INDEX($B$1:$F$1,AGGREGATE(15,6,(COLUMN($A$2:$F$2)-COLUMN($A$2)+1)/($B$2:$F$5="X"),1))
H3	=INDEX($A$2:$A$5,AGGREGATE(15,6,(ROW($A$2:$A$5)-ROW($A$2)+1)/($B$2:$F$5="X"),1))

Using the attached image.
Since there an X in G3, I would want A3 in J2, and G1 in K2
Next X would be in C4. So I would want the value of A4 in J3 and C1 in K3.
Then keep going with the X's in D4 and F7, etc.

	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K
1			Result 2	Result 2	Result 2	Result 2	Result 2			List of Result 1	List of Result 2
2	Result 1		1	3	7	9	2
3	Result 1		0	0	3	2	X
4	Result 1		X	X	1	5	8
5	Result 1		6	0	0	6	5
6	Result 1		0	1	8	X	7
7
8
9
10
11
12

To return column header

=INDEX(B1:F1,MAX(IF(B3:F5="X",COLUMN(B1:F1)-COLUMN(B1)+1)))
Array formula, use Ctrl-Shift-Enter

To return row header

=INDEX(A3:A5,MAX(IF(B3:F5="X",ROW(A3:A5)-ROW(A3)+1)))
Array formula, use Ctrl-Shift-Enter

UPDATE: My solution does not allow for duplicate Xs in the grid

Special-K99 otherwise it would have worked!
Having those multiple X's really throws a wrench into it.

Fluff - Can this be adjusted for Multiple X's like my example below?

Array formulas
Entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter. If entered correctly, Excel will surround with curly braces {}.
Note: Do not try and enter the {} manually yourself


Put the formulas in J2 and K2, then copy down.

That is really close, but the Result 2 formula looks like it is off just a little bit.

The List of Results should be the following based on the chart below.

List of Result 1	List of Result 2
Result 1-2	Result 2-5
Result 1-3	Result 2-1
Result 1-3	Result 2-2
Result 1-5	Result 2-4

</tbody>

Try this

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