I have a puzzle game numbers worksheet.

Numbers dear Experts,

I have a puzzle game worksheet that I need help with this. Its related to indexing and extraction of specific data and necessary other sheets. So full of hope someone out there has the time and skills to help out me. Here we go...

Here's an example simplified data in Sheet1:

       Wash Dry
09:00 Jerry Susie
10:00 Brian Joanna
11:00 Joe Tim

So, basically, I need to index the task and time by using the names of people, preferably in a menu drop-down.

Name Time Task
Joe 11:00 Washing

I hope someone can help!  Thanks in advance!

Joey

Hi Joey,

Here is one approach. Two tables extra where you can filter on a name.

The 'File' table is where you type or paste details.

The table "Choosing a name" has a context Menu in A2

In the table "Wash."

Formula in A2 (fill down)

= Roster::A2

Formula in B2 (fill down)

= Roster::B2

Formula in C2 (fill down)

= IF(B=Choose a Name::A$2,"Show","Hide")

In the table "in the dry."

Formula in A2 (fill down)

= Roster::A2

Formula in B2 (fill down)

= Roster::C2

Formula in C2 (fill down)

= IF(B=Choose a Name::A$2,"Show","Hide")

I added the highlight conditional to add Green fill to no results 'Show', just to illustrate. It is not necessary, because we'll hide these columns.

Now, apply a filter for the wash, then the tables dry:

To see this:

You can move (copy / paste) the list to another worksheet table 'hide' If you wish.

Now hide the columns 'Show?' in the dry tables and washing.

Choose a different name in the pop-up Menu

Kind regards

Ian.
