Copy Specific Cell information based off of multiple criteria

[LordAcoustic]

Greetings all,

I have a certain situation that I need assistance with and would greatl
appreciate the help.

I have an excel document with three columns: User Name, Question #, an
Question Answer. So each row is a different question, but not everyon
answered every question. I duplicated a small part of the document o
sheet 1 of the attached document.

What I'm trying to do is on sheet 2. So basically I'd like a formula s
that N2 would say "Something," M2 would say "Something else," C3 woul
say "Whatever," and so on.

I was wondering if that was possible and thank you so much for yo
advice in advance.

Thank you.

Given your layout and formats, you may use an array formula.


This formula must be **array-entered**:

Sheet2!B2:

=IFERROR(INDEX(Question_Answer,MATCH(1,(User_Name=$A2)*(
Question=--TRIM(MID(B$1,FIND(" ",B$1),5))),0)),"")

Select B2 and fill right to U2

Select B2:U2 and fill down to B10:U10

In the above

User_Name Refers To: =OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,1,0,COUNT(Sheet1!$A:$A))
Question Refers To: =OFFSET(User_Name,0,1)
Question_Answer Refers To: =OFFSET(User_Name,0,2)


----------------------------------------

To **array-enter** a formula, after entering
the formula into the cell or formula bar, hold down
<ctrl><shift> while hitting <enter>. If you did this
correctly, Excel will place braces {...} around the formula.
