Question

34 Indexing formula?

Wanting to see how to possibly use an indexing formula based off the one below. I am using this formula to place an asterisk in the cell next to some names in an adjacent column if they show "review" in the text for column "M". Now that I have the asterisk there, I would like to have them listed at the bottom of the spreadsheet. So in summary, how can I get just the text in column M that contains "review" in the text to be grouped together at the bottom of the sheet?

Thanks!

=IF($M2="","",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("*review*",$M2)),"*",""))

Explanation / Answer

(*If you * are in column N, Enter the below formula as Array Formula i.e. not by pressing ENTER after entering your formula but by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER. This will put { } brackets around the formula which you can see in Formula Bar. If you edit again, you will have to do CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER again. Don't put { } manually.

Drag down the formulas for other values.?>@#

=IFERROR(INDEX($M$2:$M$100, SMALL(IF("*"=$N$2:$N$100, ROW($N$2:$N$100)-ROW($N$2)+1), ROW(1:1))),"")
