Extracting unique values from a list and sorted alphabetically

Marcia · #1 10-12-2018, 12:39 AM

I had been trying to tweak this array formula to sort what it extracted from a list in ascending order but to no avail. Please help.

=IFERROR(INDEX(NAMES,MATCH(0,IF(GRADES=$X$8,IF(SEC TIONS=$AC$8,COUNTIF($B$12:$B12,NAMES),"")),0)),"")
Or this:

=IFERROR(INDEX(NAMES,SMALL(IF(GRADES=$X$8,IF(SECTI ONS=$AC$8,IF(SEX_1="M",IF(DATEENROLLED<=$X$6,ROW(N AMES)-ROW($B$2)+1)))),ROWS($B$2:$B3))),"")

Formulas like that can get difficult to maintain.
Use a pivot table and slicers/timelines. See attached; a very basic pivot table.

Thank you. I will explore the Pivot table using the slicers, although I found a formula that returned sorted lists based on conditions. It's quite long and a bit frightening.
