If your data is in A1:B7
including headers as you show, enter whatever headers you want in C1:F1
, but make sure the Code
column values you are looking for is in C2
and going down. Like C3 = B
and C4 = D
. If you don't know all the Code
column values there is a simple unique extract formula that can get them from the Code
column for you.
In C2
enter this formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter keys
=INDEX($A$2:$A$7, MATCH(0, COUNTIF($C$1:$C1, $A$2:$A$7), 0))
In D2
enter this formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter keys and then you can drag it to the right and down to populate your new table.
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$7, MATCH(0, COUNTIF($C2:C2,$B$2:$B$7)+IF($A$2:$A$7<>$C2, 1, 0), 0)), 0)
Currently this will display a 0
in cells that do not have any new description to display. This also will only work if your original data is sorted by the Code
column.Edit- Nevermind, it does work with unsorted values.
I hope this helps.
