Hi There, I hope everyone fine there. I am at beginner level using Excel 2019 on MacBook Air. I have come across a situation: I have created a data base using Hierarchies. if value is selected in ...
- thanks for reply. you have picked up correctly. I used C just for example. it may be any value resulting from combination of A and B according to the data provided to excel.
sometime, it may be A and C in both cells, so excel should look for the resultant value from with in the provided data and return the value in C1.
Do you mean in C1 it shall be some formula which returns value based on values in A1 and B1 ? If so why "C" shall be returned, not "D" or "Z" ?

sometime, it may be A and C in both cells, so excel should look for the resultant value from with in the provided data and return the value in C1.Thank you, but I still don't catch what is the logic to generate " resulting from combination of A and B".
Let assume in A1 is 10 and in B1 is 11; or in A1 is "Joe" and in B1 is "Mary" - what shall be returned?

I hope I could make it clear............
