Extract unique values based on criteria with array formula
To solve this job, you can apply a complex array formula, please do as follows:
1. Enter this formula: =INDEX($B$2:$B$17, MATCH(0, IF($D$2=$A$2:$A$17, COUNTIF($E$1:$E1, $B$2:$B$17), ""), 0)) into a blank cell where you want to list the extracting result, in this example, I will put it to cell E2, and then press Shift + Ctrl + Enter keys to get the first unique value, see screenshot:
Note: In the above formula: B2:B17 is the column range contains the unique values that you want to extract from, A2:A17 is the column contains the criterion you based on, D2 indicates the criterion that you want to list the unique values based on, and E1 is the cell above your entered formula.
2. Then drag the fill handle down to the cells to list all unique values based on the specific criterion, see screenshot:

Company A - £200 - £100
Company A - £300 - £200
Company B - £300 - £200
Company C - £600 - £200
Company B - £100 - £300
Company D - £0 - £600
Company A - £700 - £100
I want a new data table in a new tab which groups the duplicate values without using an array formula. currently I'm grouping using a pivot table and pasting to my new data table. It's a long process but array formulas make my spreadsheet really slow.
Company A - £1200 - £400
Company B - £400 - £500
Company C - £600 - £200
Company D - £0 - £600
Thanks,

- To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.· 1 years agoHi, Giancarlo,
to extract unique values based on multiple criteria, any of the below formula can help you: (after pasting the formula, please press Ctrl + Shift + Enter keys together.)
=IFERROR(INDEX($C$2:$C$11, MATCH(0, COUNTIF(G1:$G$1, $C$2:$C$11)+IF($A$2:$A$11<>$E$2, 1, 0)+IF($B$2:$B$11<>$F$2, 1, 0), 0)), "")
=INDEX($C$2:$C$11, MATCH(0, IF(($A$2:$A$11=$E$2)*($B$2:$B$11=$F$2), COUNTIF($G$1:$G1, $C$2:$C$11), ""), 0))
Please try, hope it can help you!

- To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.· 1 years agoHello, Konstantin,
To extract all corresponding values including the duplicates based on a specific cell criteria, the following array formula can help you, see screenshot:
=IF(ISERROR(INDEX($A$1:$B$17,SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$17=$D$2,ROW($A$1:$A$17)),ROW(1:1)),2)),"",
INDEX($A$1:$B$17,SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$17=$D$2,ROW($A$1:$A$17)),ROW(1:1)),2))
After inserting the formula, please press Shift + Ctrl + Enter keys together to get the correct result, and then drag the fill handle down to get all values.
Hope this can help you, thank you！
- To post as a guest, your comment is unpublished.· 2 years agoHow would I get this formula to return each of the duplicates instead of one of each of the names? For instance, in the example above, how would I get the results column (B:B) to return Lucy, Ruby, Anny, Jose, Lucy, Anny, Tom? I'm using this as a budget tool pulling to specific account summaries from a general ledger. However, several of the amounts and transaction descriptions are duplicates in the general ledger. Once the first of the duplicated values is pulled, no more of them get pulled.
