Massaging duplicates

[sam.burley]

I am new to excel, doing the tutorial thing, but i am having a problem
with a worksheet i want to massage.
It goes something like this:

ColumnA Column B Column C Column D
abba A 0 0.15
abba B 1 2
abba C 0 0.14
abba D 0 3
abba E 1 0.2
acca A 0 1
acca B 0 3
acca C 0 .2
acca D 1 2
acca E 1 66

What i need to do is if Column C is > 1 then I need excel to ouput the
value in Column D for ALL occurence of Column A. That is, the first B
has a value of 1 (the second b does not) and I need excel to output all
of the column D values for B in different cells, i.e For the B in
column B: abba:2, acca:3. For A, however, with two 0's I don't want it
output.

Here's one interp / suggestion ..

Suppose the table below is
in Sheet1, in A110

abba A 0 0.15
abba B 1 2
abba C 0 0.14
abba D 0 3
abba E 1 0.2
acca A 0 1
acca B 0 3
acca C 0 .2
acca D 1 2
acca E 1 66

Put in E1: =IF(C1=1,ROW(),"")
Copy down to E10

In Sheet2
------------
Put in A1:

=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(SMALL(Sheet1!$E:$E,ROWS($A$1:A1)),Sheet1!$E:$E,0)),"",INDE
X(Sheet1!A:A,MATCH(SMALL(Sheet1!$E:$E,ROWS($A$1:A1)),Sheet1!$E:$E,0)))

Copy A1 across to D1, fill down to D10
(i.e. by as many rows as there is data in Sheet1)

You'll get in cols A to D:

abba B 1 2
abba E 1 0.2
acca D 1 2
acca E 1 66
[ rest are blanks: "" ]

which is an extract of all rows of the original table in Sheet1
where col C in Sheet1 contains "1"
(this is the interp of what you're after ..)

(Just hide away col C in Sheet2 if desired)

Thanks,

If you have the time, do you mind explaining very briefly what exactly
that does?

It is almost what i am looking for, thanks for the help.
However, when i copy this out i only get clm D values that are 1. I
somehow need to be able to use 1 as a trigger to make excel display ALL
of the column D values for the column B constituants. (there would also
be adda, aeea, etc. with A-E and 0 or 1 and then a value.)

If there is one positive (1 is positive 0 is negative) hit for A in
abba and the rest are negative i need excel to display the positve AND
the non positive hits for A in abba, abbc and adda and aeea.
Thanks again for your help.

Doesn't the above sound like what you already have/started out with,
i.e. your source table itself ?

Put in E1: =IF(C1=1,ROW(),"")

Copy down to E10

Change that to:

=IF(SUMIF(B$1:B$10,B1,C$1:C$10)>0,ROW(),"")

Now, extract the data: (array entered)

=INDEX(A$1:A$10&":"&D$1$10,SMALL(IF(E$1:E$10<>"",ROW
(A$1:A$10)),ROW(1:1)))

Copy down until #NUM! errors.

Output based on the OP's table and desired format(I think):

abba:2
abba:3
abba:0.2
acca:3
acca:2
acca:66

Biff
