I have a Numbers spreadsheet with a table for each room in our house listing jobs that need doing and a priority rating for each. For example:
Kitchen
Job Priority
Fix tap 1
Replace fridge 2
Bathroom
Job Priority
Replace cracked tile 3
Reseal bath 1
I'd like to create a new summery sheet which pulls all the information into a new series of tables based on their priority. For example:
Urgent
Job Priority
Fix tap 1
Reseal bath 1
Important
Job Priority
Replace fridge 2
Low Priority
Job Priority
Replace cracked tile 3
Is there a way to filter multiple tables like this?
Edit 7:10pm: I've discovered UNION.RANGES, which looks promising, but it only ever outputs the first cell of the unionised range. Is there some way to get it to fill the whole array into a new table?
Edit 11th December: Trying to use INDEX as follows to retrieve other cells from the array results in the error 'The formula contains a number outside the valid range.'
INDEX(UNION.RANGES(TRUE,Hall and Stairs::Fault:Estimated Cost,Dining Area::Fault:Estimated Cost,Utility::Fault:Estimated Cost,Lounge::Fault:Estimated Cost,Kitchen::Fault:Estimated Cost,Downstairs Loo::Fault:Estimated Cost),2,1,1)
1, 2, 1
as the last three arguments to INDEX rather than2, 1, 1
. If that works and your data is to remain structured in single columns, then you can pull in the rest by passing a different column index number to INDEX at each separate cell, i.e.1, 3, 1
,1, 4, 1
, etc, and create what you need. If this is not clear enough, I can provide the screenshot of an example.
