Create list from other sheet
- Jan 13, 2024
It’s possible to create a dynamic list based on specific criteria in Excel. If you want to automatically generate a list based on criteria and have it update dynamically, you can use Excel functions like FILTER or IF combined with INDEX and MATCH.
Here is a basic guide on how you might achieve this:
Using FILTER Function (for Office 365 / Excel 2019):
Assuming your data is in a structured table, you can use the FILTER function to create a dynamic list based on criteria.
- Create a Criteria Table:
- Create a small table with the criteria you want. For example, you can have a column for "Escalations" and another for "Poachable."
- Use FILTER:
- In the cell where you want the dynamic list, you can use a formula like this:
=FILTER(Table1, (Table1[Escalations]="Yes") * (Table1[Poachable]="Yes"))
- Adjust the criteria according to your needs.
Using IF, INDEX, and MATCH (for Older Versions):
If you don't have access to the FILTER function, you can use a combination of IF, INDEX, and MATCH functions.
1. Create a Helper Column:
- Add a helper column next to your data and use an IF formula to mark the rows that meet your criteria.
=IF((A2="Yes")*(B2="Yes"), 1, 0)
- Assuming "Escalations" is in column A and "Poachable" is in column B.
2. Create a Dynamic List:
- In the cell where you want the dynamic list, use an INDEX and MATCH formula.
=INDEX(A:A, SMALL(IF($C$2:$C$100=1, ROW($C$2:$C$100)-MIN(ROW($C$2:$C$100))+1, ""), ROW(1:1)))
- Adjust the column references according to your data.
This formula creates a dynamic list that adjusts as you add or remove data. Drag this formula down to populate the list.
Remember to replace "Table1," "Escalations," "Poachable," and the column and row references according to your actual data.
