I am working with this data set:
What I need is to return the list of values corresponding to to each unique category. Seems straight forward and I generated this using excel formula
=TRANSPOSE(FILTER($B$2:$B$11,$A$2:$A$11=D2)))
by dragging down. Here's the output:
What I need eventually is to use the list of values for each of the categories, as a variable of LET function, to output everything all at once as a part of bigger formula. I have tested this set of solutions:
=LET(AllCategories,$A$2:$A$11,values,$B$2:$B$11,myCategories,D2:D4,output,MAP(myCategories,LAMBDA(x,TRANSPOSE(FILTER(values,AllCategories=x)))),output)
=LET(categories,D2:D5,BYROW(categories,LAMBDA(category,HSTACK(category,FILTER($B$2:$B$11,$A$2:$A$11=category)))))
=LET( uniqueCategories, UNIQUE(A2:A11), BYROW(uniqueCategories, LAMBDA(category, HSTACK(category, TRANSPOSE(FILTER(B2:B11, A2:A11=category))))) )
=LET(uniqueCategories,UNIQUE(A2:A11),valuesList,MAP(uniqueCategories, LAMBDA(category, HSTACK(category, FILTER($B$2:$B$11, $A$2:$A$11=category)))), valuesList)
The goal of formulas 1-4 was to go by each unique category row by row, and return values based on category in col A. In each case I have got the #CALC!
as a result.
Looking for a help here. I've googled the problem, eployed ( :) ) chatGPT to try to figure it out and still cannot solve it.
using REDUCE/LAMBDA:
=IFERROR(DROP(REDUCE("",UNIQUE(A2:A11),LAMBDA(z,y,VSTACK(z,HSTACK(y,TRANSPOSE(FILTER(B2:B11,A2:A11=y)))))),1),"")
