Formula/method to link the data/responses I get from my forms into a different table.

Hi everyone! I need help with a project that I'm creating. Im making use of Microsoft Forms in order to input certain information. I made use of branching since some answers depend on the previous choice. So moving on to my problem, I want my table2 to get the responses/data from the data table created by the forms.

 

Table 2

 

Table of responses 

 

For reference for the spill error, here is the formula that I used.

 

Any insights will help a lot. Thank you have a great day everyone.

    so the problem is that "Responses[When was this transaction made?]" refers to that entire column of that table and therefor that IF statement is trying to output an array of results.  It appears that formula is in a table of its own and array output are not allowed in a table.

    if the tables line up the simpliest answer may be to add the @ symbol to tell excel to use the corresponding row of the array/table:

    Responses[@[When was this transaction made?]]

    That said the better way is to either expand on the response table and make your calculations there or just pull the whole table and perform whatevere filter/calculations you need and spill the whole table/set of data all at once.
