How can I update cell 1 with the information from cell 2 when cell 3 is "1"?

Hi,

I want the selected cell in Column19 to pull through A, B, C, D, E or F if the search filed has a "1" in it. I have tried INDEX MATCH, nested IFS, but nothing seems to work. Closest I got was a 'No Match', but not sure why the corresponding letter was not pulling through.

This is all on the same sheet with columns either side of the fields I have pasted here.

Example:

Hope you can assist.

Thank you,

    =IF([Column13] = "F", "Name 1", IF([Column8] = 1, "A", IF([Column9] = 1, "B", IF([Column10] = 1, "C", IF([Column11] = 1, "D", IF([Column12] = 1, "E", IF([Column13] = 1, "F", "")))))))


    This will work as long as only one column contains "1". If you need to return multiple results, you will need a different approach. This should also be setup as a column formula and will retain the "Name 1" cell.

You would create the sheet first, then you can click on \"Forms\" in the top right corner of the new sheet to create the form.<\/p>


<\/p>

If you need a bunch of the same columns, You can \"Save as new\" the existing sheet and then just delete whatever you don't need from each sheet.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":321,"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]},{"discussionID":109205,"type":"question","name":"Auto Populate Column Data","excerpt":"I have a sheet that I am populating row one with data inputted using an intake form (Form1).

Yes. The \"@row\" piece of the formula is looking for the cell within the row of the formula. So on any row where the meta columns are blank, \"@row\" will also return blank.<\/p>


<\/p>

Try this instead:<\/p>

=INDEX([AT-Meta]:[AT-Meta], 1)<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":321,"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]}],"initialPaging":{"nextURL":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/api\/v2\/discussions?page=2&categoryID=321&includeChildCategories=1&type%5B0%5D=Question&excludeHiddenCategories=1&sort=-hot&limit=3&expand%5B0%5D=all&expand%5B1%5D=-body&expand%5B2%5D=insertUser&expand%5B3%5D=lastUser&status=accepted","prevURL":null,"currentPage":1,"total":4965,"limit":3},"title":"Trending in Smartsheet Basics","subtitle":null,"description":null,"noCheckboxes":true,"containerOptions":[],"discussionOptions":[]}">
