Excel version not specified. Assumed 365 with TRIMRANGE
Other assumptions according to your pic.:
- A row with "Panel count" always exist before rows with "nn panels"
- The "nn panels" rows always start with 2 digits (16, 21, 30)
- Each block of data (TRINA, QCELL...) always consist of 6 rows
- Cells G4:G6 respectively named Criteria1, Criteria2 and Criteria3
- Drop down (Data Validation) items for Criteria1 to spill in an Helper Sheet. Formula is (adjust Sheet1! if necessary):
=LET(
trimmed_range, TRIMRANGE( Sheet1!B:B ),
row_PanelCount, (trimmed_range = "panel count") * SEQUENCE( ROWS( trimmed_range ) ),
SORT( CHOOSEROWS( trimmed_range, FILTER( row_PanelCount, row_PanelCount ) -2 ) )
)Formula for Result in G8:
=LET(
trimmed_range, TRIMRANGE(B:D),
row_criteria1, XMATCH( Criteria1, CHOOSECOLS( trimmed_range, 1 ) ),
target_data, TAKE( DROP( trimmed_range, row_criteria1 +2 ), 3 ),
result, INDEX( target_data,
XMATCH( Criteria2, VALUE( LEFT( CHOOSECOLS( target_data, 1 ), 2 ) ), -1 ),
XMATCH( TRUE, ISNUMBER( SEARCH( Criteria3, CHOOSEROWS( trimmed_range, row_criteria1 +1 ) ) ) )
),
IF( COUNTA( Criteria1, Criteria2, Criteria3 ) = 3, result, "")
