I have a table of people.
Columns are
First name, last name, address, team #, full name, etc

There are about 50 people in the list and five teams total, so "team #" column has a number (1,2,3,4 or 5) in it.

I would like to extract a list that has five columns across the top (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and lists all the team members of each particular team underneath.

So, if I change a person's team # in the "main" list, the "extracted" list will update accordingly.

It seems like this should be so simple but I can't think of a function/formula that will do it. (I tried PivotTables first, but they would only give me "count" or "sum" etc of the names, not the list of names themselves)

If I use LOOKUP, I can only find the first one. Don't know how to find (and list) the second, third, etc... And I'm done formulas with SUMPRODUCT, array (CSE), etc, before but I just can't figure this one out.

Thanks for any help...

your table with the people is in Sheet1
Then in sheet2 for team # 1:
=INDEX(Sheet1!E:E,SMALL(IF(Sheet1!D$1:D$100=1,ROW($1:$100)),ROW(A1)))
and enter the array formula with CTRL+Shift+Enter and copy down till you
get an error.

Wow! Beautiful!

I saw some references to INDEX() and SMALL() when I was doing a search before I posted my question but had no idea how to use them myself. This works wonderfully!! Now I have to finish dissecting it so I understand WHY it works... : )

Danke vielmals!
