Venn diagram or names in a list
Hi Ian,
You may use nested INDEX/MATCH. If you have column with "1-2" overlapping list, INDEX/MATCH values in this column on third column in your source table, you'll have "1-2-3" overlapping combination. If you don't need "1-2" use formula for it as search value in "1-2-3", i.e. final formula will be
=IFERROR(INDEX(Table1[3],MATCH(IFERROR(INDEX(Table1[2],MATCH(Table1[@1],Table1[2],0),0),""),Table1[3],0)),"")
Here
and in attached file
Hi again
Sorry to be a pain but between reading your replies and reading up and what you posted I have cobbled together a formula which works well for the three columns, the formula is in cell M2 on the sheet I have attached, but I cant work out how to use the same formula for just two columns, im sure it should be easier than the three columns one but i cant get it to work! Do you have any ideas?
Thank you for all your help so far.
Ian

Thank you Sergei and IAN for this post.Can you please explain the same by using venn diagram in the excel and show how they both data and venn diagram interact dynamically.i mean when values in excel data changes then values in venn diagram should change.Is this possible.

Hi Ian,
Better use some formatting to sort out issues with long formulas. Your initial one is
=IFERROR( INDEX(Table1[1], MATCH(0, COUNTIF(N$1:$N1,Table1[1])+ IF( IF(COUNTIF(Table1[2],Table1[1])>0,1,0)+ IF(COUNTIF(Table1[3],Table1[1])>0,1,0)=2, 0,1 ), 0) ), "" )
In nested IF remove second IF with COUNTIF which indicates if elements from columns 3 and 1 are overlapped, and first IF here compare with 1. Thus formula for 1-2 will be
{=IFERROR( INDEX(Table1[1], MATCH(0, COUNTIF(N$1:$N1,Table1[1])+ IF( IF(COUNTIF(Table1[2],Table1[1])>0,1,0)=1, 0,1 ), 0) ), "" )}- Swapna BoppanaJun 14, 2018Copper Contributor

Thank you very much Sergi!
I have been playing with these ideas for a while now and couldn't get them to work but all are now working beautifully, thank you!
