How to return a single variable from various variables
Hi, my spreadsheet contains various fields that require various inputs which I am trying to automate. I am only trying to automate certain fields. There are 18 sites and 4 departments and I'm tr...
Thank you for uploading the file.
I have added the formula and I have also made some changes that I think are the ones you were looking to have using the data validation.
Hi ricardojose,
I've uploaded a file so you can see the layout and fields. There are 2 worksheets:
Users are where I would want the values populated.
LOOKUP are the values I would like used used for each office.
What I'm trying to achieve is that, if enter the Site into the user worksheet it pulls through the other fields of data relating to that office from the LOOK-UP worksheet.
Thank you for helping me with this!!!
Best,

Unfortunately you can't use a Table on the "Users" sheet if you want to use FILTER(). You have to convert the table to an "ordinary area " (unsure about the translation, but something like:
table design->convert to area)
Then you can put a formula like this in E2 and copy it down.
=FILTER('LOOK-UP'!$C$2:$N$19,C2='LOOK-UP'!$A$2:$A$19)
table design->convert to area)
Then you can put a formula like this in E2 and copy it down.
=FILTER('LOOK-UP'!$C$2:$N$19,C2='LOOK-UP'!$A$2:$A$19)
- By the way: You are allowed to use XLOOKUP in a table as suggested by ricardojose.
Something like this in E2, copy to the right (assuming VM/BD in the header of column O/N is just a slipp)
=XLOOKUP ([@Site],'LOOK-UP'!$A$2:$A$19,'LOOK-UP'!C$2:C$19,,0)
I prefer Filter(). But this alows you to keep your structure- Hi, thank you, I'll give the XLOOKUP a try and let you know how I get on.
