@Jet Fusion -- I've helped with the first element in your request above: Sheet 2 drop down boxes and matching info in Column D. See attached. Your remaining requests are difficult for me to understand clearly. Do you care to provide a little more sample data, or a little more explanation?

Great! Glad it's helpful! I suggest setting up Named Ranges in the Roles Sheet and the Availability Sheet. They can initially be defined as 56 rows, and updated as needed in the Name Manager. By doing this, your Rota sheet can simply refer to the Named Ranges rather than specific cell...

shiftsailor, I don't think this solution is perfect, by any means, but if you really are just wanting someone to 'point you in the right direction'... I'd suggest multiplying the Role x Availability x Volunteer ID and setting a randomizer to select from them. There's always a chance that...

selling_stuff, I assume the 9-box-grid you are referencing is the one in the November 17 post on the Chandoo blog? https://chandoo.org/wp/9-box-talent-map-template/ I've pulled the sample file from that blog post and inserted an additional filter as you suggested -- using Directors named Mike...

Ufoo, After too long to wait...see attached.

Ufoo... I've got a solution to offer, provided that you can be a little flexible in your requirements: First, I've dumped your data into a single master list, with a Family ID indicator and a binary Adult Indicator. Next, I've used RAND() to sort the master list into a randomized list of gift...

premjeetgupta, There may be better ways to do this than a formula -- so be careful what you wish for... In cell A1, paste this array formula, and execute with Ctrl+Shift+Enter: =INDEX(Sheet4!$A$1:$BC$1000,INT(SMALL(IF(ISERROR(FIND("sh firmware...

xlnovice2000, I've done my best with the sample file you provided. Something like this: =$F2*INDEX(taxtable[Rate],MATCH(G$1,taxtable[Tax],0)) Looks like Column I does not have a rate in your tax table, so it's throwing an error. See attached.

Derek -- Breaking your original post into its constituent parts: ================= Looking first at cell W5. In the sample file you provided, when I pull up the Name Manager to check on the definition of Joint_PL, I see a #REF! error. [It appears to refer to a different Excel file on your...

Per your subject line: Is VLOOKUP the only acceptable solution? How do you plan for the user to select the horses to pass through to the race table? I've assumed that you'll be adding a "selector" column to your source table; and I've also assumed that an array formula is acceptable. See...

Congratulations to @mjazz for the fortitude to read threads more than a year old in search of an answer. @SirJB7 -- Sir, I respectfully take exception to your reply; I appreciate users replying to the original thread so that I (and others) can see that this is a common need among Excel users...

In cell e23: =INDEX('Monthly Summary'!$C$21:$C$32,MATCH($D$16,'Monthly Summary'!$B$21:$B$32)-1) See attached. But it will fail in January each year.

paste in c2: =IF(MOD(COUNTIF($A$2:A2,A2),12)=0,"yes","") and drag to fill. Then, conditional formatting formula will look like this: =c2="yes" See attached.

If you click on the Project Plans tab, you'll see that there are already tables set up for Projects 1-16. If you click on the Formula Ribbon > Name Manager, you'll see that the Named Range 'lstPlans' only includes 10 of the projects...

I'm confused: 86 and 43 are also common values in both cells. Does the position in the sequence have to match as well as the value? Your original post is unclear. This CSE (array) formula will test for common values (but not common position)...
