  I'm creating a report that picks up which units are being studied by a certain participant. They pick 10 units out of a possible 16 I have list of unit labels along a row (B1:Q1) List of participants in column (A2:A10) Want to look along row for first participant and if any cell contains "E", display corresponding unit label from cell above. In the row on the report for that participant, I only want to display a list of the 10 units that they are studying. Am flummoxed... any ideas gratfully received

  Hi,

  You can use an array to loop through and pick up the values and then write them to the next sheet:

  Sub GetUnits()
  
  Dim astrUnits(10) As String 'array to hold names and units
  Dim intCount As Integer     'to keep track of place in array
  Dim i As Integer    'loop counter
  Dim j As Integer
  Dim k As Integer
  
  For j = 2 To 10
  'set counter for astrUnits and student
  intCount = 1
  'get student name
      astrUnits(0) = Cells(j, 1).Value
      For i = 2 To 17
          'get units picked
          If Cells(j, i).Value = "E" Then
              'add to array and increment counter
              astrUnits(intCount) = Cells(1, i).Value
              intCount = intCount + 1
          End If
      Next i
      'now add to report sheet
      ActiveSheet.Next.Select
          For k = 0 To 10
              Cells(j - 1, k + 1).Value = astrUnits(k)
          Next k
      ActiveSheet.Previous.Select
  
  Next j
  
  End Sub
  

  Hope this helps!
