Thank you for reading this post. I am trying to use the Filter formula and/or the Xlookup and/or the Unique formulas with data validation. We have a grid (excel table/array) where partners/owners are in say column A and entities are in columns B through lets say X. In the rows of columns B through X are the ownership percentages of the partners. The attached file shows the sample layout although different columns as described. What I am trying to achieve is to have two separate drop down validations (on the same sheet or another sheet preferred) where we can chose a partner or an entity (separate validations) and gets it composition with no zeros or spaces. I was getting stuck on using the Filter formula within the filter formula (nested) to then receive the percentages and entity names (need to use transpose as well I suspect) not including blanks. In fact I could not get the entity names because I was further stuck on how to use the offset function as well. I appreciate all input as there are probably a variety of ways to do this and everyone has their own style. Thank you excel helpers!!!

Found my answer. I just kept changing the formula and finally got it to work. I went with filter although xlookup should be able to do the same thing.
