To Lookup For Top Name of Column And Row In A Chart For A Specific Value And Create Another Chart
- Mar 19, 2019
Here you go! :-) I developed a solution only based in formulas and not requiring Power Query.
Data Table:
I transformed the data table into an Excel Table. That will allow you to add more data at the bottom without having to update the ranges in the formulas. The formulas will always know that they need to look at the entire data table, regardless of the number of rows.
I added three extra columns to the table that will be responsible to check if the columns B, C and D have dates that coincide with the date in cell I2. You can hide these three helper columns if you'd like.
Cell I2 was given the name ChosenDate.
I added conditional formatting rules to the data table. This way, any date that matches the ChosenDate will be automatically highlighted. If you want this feature to keep working, you cannot paint the cells of the data table.
Results Table:
I added two helper columns to this table that are responsible to pick all the matching entries in the data table. You can hide these two columns if you'd like.
I added the formulas to the report columns.
The report table can show up to 25 results. You can copy the formulas down if you need more result rows.
The final file is attached.
I hope this helps.

Here is the answer to your message asking how to adapt the formulas for when you want to get the results for dates in between two given date values.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Even I also tried yesterday in separate way , it worked (Thanks to insights already shared by you before)But you did it more smartly.

Yes, Excel is the best!
The great thing is that there is no unique solution. I am glad that you were able to find an answer to the challenge on your own. Well done! ;-)
