I have a massive training catalogue for employees.
Each employee has a job Position ( Example: Accountant)
A Lawyer has to take multiple courses in order to be an accountant.
What I'm trying to do is to input the employee job position in one cell and make it display ALL of the courses he needs to undertake.
Vlookup only displays the first course, I don't know how I am able to do this in excel ( Would normally use a data vizualization software..)

I'm sorry if the title is confusing but I had a hard time deciding how to word it.
I have students with test scores and the scores are currently laid out so column headers are as such:
Student ID, Math Score, Writing Score, Reading Score
I would like it so the columns would instead be:
Student ID, Subject, Score
Essentially I am categorizing my data and will end up with multiple rows with the same student ID as it touches each subject and score.
My data is for hundreds of students and many different types of scores hence the need to find a way to do this without dragging fields around to reorganize the data.
I've already run into this type of need twice in the past few months so I can't imagine others haven't encountered this..
I am not sure if functions will do this or a tool already within Excel. Or maybe its not possible?
I am working on creating a "master financial model" in excel.
The idea is that I have different building functions, which have their own specific rows in financial model.
I want to create inputs in the first sheet (already done) and have an output of the resulting financial model in the next one.
So, for example If I have Residential Function in phase 1, Hotel in phase 2 and Residential again in phase 3, then the output should include financial models for residential, then hotel and then the second residential.
The not so elegant way to do this, is just to have model for every function and then paste them into the "results" sheet. Also some editing will be required so the model knows which data to analyze. Or to have a very long sheet, which includes every possible combination and then just hide unwanted rows.
I want to automate this process, so that a person who has no clue how excel works, just needs to enter some data and have a functioning Financial model ready in no time.
Edit1: What is a Model? Financial Models are something like this: https://cdn.corporatefinanceinstitute.com/assets/financial-modeling-example-2.png
But in my model different Functions have different rows, so I need to load specific rows according to the functions I have. And load as many times, as many functions I have.
I've used Kahoot in the classroom and have several excel files with scores from quizzes.
Students attended quizzes by using unique IDs. In each file, scores are visible for each ID (but ordered by success on each quiz). There are also some students missing or stating wrong IDs (I'll ignore it).
Now I would like to accumulate all scores for all student IDs in one sheet and summarize them by Student ID.
How can I do that most efficiently?
Any pointer or advice is appreciated.
Thanks,

Here's a high level guide to getting what you want along with a sample in this file.
Step 1 - Combine Files to Sheet with Unified Columns
Objective
The goal here is to:
Combine all of your data from other files to single sheet
Merge the data to be in a single column for each field (i.e. Column A has ID, Column B has score).
No breaks in rows.
No formulas.
To illustrate, I made this fake list based loosely on your
description.
Method
You probably can do this manually, but a macro could also be used. If you expect to do this year over year, you might look into vba to open close files in a folder. However, since that wasn't part of question, you can do copy-paste (better yet make a kid do it!). Just make sure there's only one header for each column, and all of the data records align. Probably should do copy paste value if you have any formulas.
Step 2 - Show Summation
There's a couple ways this could be done. A pivot table is probably the most sensible because you could include each quiz as a column to see the total. You could also use a pivot table to do averages by student etc.
TO make a pivot table, I would recommend going on YouTube and they will do a better job of explaining than me.
On that same file I made as an example, I included some tabs to illustrate the power of pivot tables and a couple graphs.
Hope that helps. If you have specific technical questions on this, you might consider asking separately.
I am working on a budget and need some help with looking up a value and returning multiple text values (categories).
Basically transactions are exported via a customers bank. This has names dates etc. I am then trying to add a category at the end, for example, rent, bills, food. However some have subcategories. Food for example might be food core, or food junk.
I can populate one cell with the below formula pretty easy but not sure how to do two. The second category needs to be one box across but ideally in the same formula as I have thousands of lines
This is the code for the category 1,
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("NEWWORLD", F2,1)),"FOOD")
I'm going to try and make this as least confusing as possible, I apologize in advance if my attempt is a failure.
I work in education and am trying to create a predictive analysis document that will tell us how many class sections we will need to offer in a given semester.
I pulled data from the past five years and consolidated it into a pivot chart. I set the pivot chart to combine all courses with a common Subject, Course Title and Catalog Number (See image below for more detail), and output 3 different columns of values based on what we need.
The problem I am facing now is with curriculum changes throughout the years. There are some courses within the list that are no longer being offered and a new course with a new Course Title, Subject and Catalog Number that can now be substituted for the previously needed course. Since the data has been pulled into one pivot chart, both the old curriculum courses and the new curriculum courses are in one list.
I would like to somehow create a relationship between the old curriculum courses and the new curriculum courses. If possible I would like the names of the courses to remain separate, but the values of the old and new to be averaged out together in their respective rows.
In a new page, I plan on putting an easy to use form where the user can select a course subject and name, enter in some other necessary data and the document will output the amount of course sections needed.
Does anyone know of a way to make a relationship between two cells and have other cells effected by this relationship?
Thanks so much!
Mike
