Suppose i have the following raw data in excel spreadsheet:
[Name ] [ID ] [ Event ]
[John ] [ 123 ] [ A ]
[Peter ] [ 235 ] [ B ]
[John ] [ 123 ] [ C ]
[MAX ] [ 236 ] [ D ]
I want to create a summary like this:
[Name ] [ID ] [Event A ] [Event B ] [ Event C ]
John [ 123 ] [ Yes ] [ No ] [ Yes ]
Peter [ 235 ] [ No ] [ Yes ] [ No ]
How could i generate the yes and no based on the raw data mentioned earlier? This means when John participates event A, it is marked yes else no. I can’t seem to do a VLookUp with two conditions. Hope someone can help and advance thanks.
I like pivot tables, so I’d use one of those – though it might take some maneuvering to get it to say “yes” and “No”.
Make a pivot table. Put the Name and ID Fields as “row labels”. Make “Event” a column label. Then put the “event” in the “values” field. You’ll end up with 1 = yes, blank = no.
