    If I understand the input correctly – you need smth like this:

    =IF(LEFT(A2,1)="Q",INDIRECT("O"&ROW(A2)),IF(LEFT(A2,1)="B",INDIRECT("P"&ROW(A2)),A2))
    

    Please add instead of A2 any output you like if cells in A match neither “Q” nor “B”.

    EDITED Update as per changed reqs:

    =IF(LEFT(A2,1)="Q",INDIRECT("O"&ROW(A2)),IF(LEFT(A2,1)="B",INDIRECT("P"&(1+COUNTIF($A$2:A2,"Boy"))),A2))
