Help with a process / formula(s) to look up variable values and return the data
Totally understand and thank you for your assistance so far. I've managed to remove some of the sensitive information from the attached Workbook, which is the one i wanted to use.
I would really appreciate if you could help by applying the same principals to this workbook.
Essentially, the months run from April to May and the analysis tab is call "Requester Summary".
Within the requester summary are tables which is where i need the data retrieved to. The data for each table is listed below,
- BHM Table - Should show information for requesters associated with the team "BHM". Should show the requester name, total requests and value of requests for authorised requests only.
- Contract Hub / Directorate table - Should show information for requesters associated with the team(s) "Contract Hub" or "Directorate". Should show the requester name, total requests and value of requests for authorised requests only.
- Neighbourhood Management & Community Protection table - Should show information for requesters associated with the team(s) "NHM" or "Community Protection". Should show the requester name, total requests and value of requests for authorised requests only.
- Parks, Leisure & Cemeteries Table - Should show information for requesters associated with the team "Parks", "Leisure" or "Cemeteries". Should show the requester name, total requests and value of requests for authorised requests only.
- Other Table - Should show information for requesters associated with the team "Other". Should show the requester name, total requests and value of requests for authorised requests only.
I hope the above makes sense ? Its in essence very similar to what you provided previously. Thanking you in advance for your time, help and patience on this !
Thanks

I think there was some kind of format problem with your sheet. I thought the show formula mode was turned on but it wasn't it. With your original file, if the problem is still there, you can copy the format (format painter) of the attached file. Once again, double check those attached formulas.

Hello again. The formulas are the same in the cells F9:F19 than in F8. Drag down again from F8 and it will be fine. Check the formulas differencies before.
The one that works includes:
VSTACK(April:December!$I$2:$I$100000)
and the one that doesn't is
VSTACK('C:\Users':December!$I$2:$I$100000)
So something happend with the tabs names
Bye
durendal Thank you, I've sorted that out now.
There is one more thing which is not working as expected which is the total number of authorised requests in cell F9. It seems to have counted for the first person but not for the other 2 underneath. I've tried to look at the formula logically and can't figure out why it's not working.
Apologies for bugging you like this. I promise this will be the last question !
Thanking you for your help so far and in advance.
- The formula in the "Requester" columns is a spill formula, it needs to be entered only once. If any data is entered under it, where it should spread, it will return a spill error. To correct it, enter the formula only once, in the E8 cell for exemple, and delete the formulas under it
durendal Sorry to come back to you so late on this. I've been on leave !.
I've managed to overcome the formatting issue but i now have a Spill error :(. When i copy the formula from the spreadsheet you attached, the formula points to that file rather than the workbook i'm using. Even when i try and remove the previous file name, it doesn't work and gives me the spill error.
Attached is the spreadsheet i want to use and also shows the "Spill" error. I would be grateful if you could take a final look for me and help sort it out 😞
Thanks Raj
