How to copy a rowdata when matching a value in a column to another worksheet

Copper Contributor

Hello,

 

I am looking for help with an excelsheet I am putting together. I have data differences that are presented in column A of worksheet 1: Raw Material and Finished product. In the next couple of columns are some analysis results for both products.

What I want to do is the following:

ProductDateAnalysis 1Analysis 2

Raw material

1-1-2312
Raw material2-1-2334
Finished product2-1-2356
Raw material3-1-2378
Finished product4-1-23910
Raw material4-1-235020
Raw material5-1-233040
Finished product6-1-2368
etc.  

 

The data above is all in sheet1.

I want to copy the data into sheet 2 (Raw materials) or sheet 3 (Finished product) respectively. 

I am trying to get this automated but cannot figure it out. I automatically copy Raw material (a:d) data into sheet 2 and the Finished product (a:d) data into sheet 3. Can someone help me with this?

Many thanks!

@Larsvane I would use the FILTER function in the product sheets rather than copying rows from the main sheet. But if you insist on copying, you'll need VBA which isn't something I do.

 

See attached file.

@Larsvane 

=IFERROR(INDEX(A$2:A$9,SMALL(IF($A$2:$A$9="Raw material",ROW($A$2:$A$9)-1),ROW($A1))),"")

You can try this formula. Enter the formula with ctrl+shift+enter if you don't work with Office 365 or Excel 2021. The formula is in cell F2 in the example and filled across range F2:I8.

 

If you work with Office 365 you can apply the FILTER function.

 

Another alternative that works for older versions of Excel could be advanced filter.

Thanks for your reply. Okey I see how this works, but it does not work in another worksheet (after changing the values A2:A9 to worksheet!A2:a9) How can I incoperate this?

@Larsvane 

=IFERROR(INDEX(worksheet!A$2:A$9,SMALL(IF(worksheet!$A$2:$A$9="Raw material",ROW(worksheet!$A$2:$A$9)-1),ROW(worksheet!$A1))),"")

This formula works in my file. I have to confirm the formula with ctrl+shift+enter because the attached file is version Excel 2013. Does it work when you open the attached file?

 

@OliverScheurich Thanks for the reply. I tried it in your file and it worked. Then I tried the exact same in mine and it did not work fully. I attached part of the file i am using for it. In my case it should use the array of d4-d10. It also does not work in "blad 2"

@Larsvane 

I've adjusted the formulas and the intended results are returned in both sheets.
