Google Sheets Multi-Part Signature Structure

Create a streamlined Google Sheets setup to manage multiple part numbers linked to a single provider, enabling easy retrieval of unique parts for two dispositions using tailored formulas and a clear dataset layout.

Prompt

Answer

Google Sheets Formula for Multiple Parts and a Single Vendor Signature

Objective

To create a structure in Google Sheets that allows for a single signature from a provider while accommodating multiple part numbers for two different dispositions.

Structure Design

Columns Setup:
- Column A: Part Number
- Column B: Disposition (Disposition 1 or Disposition 2)
- Column C: Provider Name
- Column D: Signature (to be displayed or confirmed)

Formula Creation

To create a structured listing, utilize the following formula to fetch unique parts for the two dispositions from a provided dataset comprising Part Numbers, Disposition, and Provider Signature.

Sample Dataset

Assuming the dataset is on a separate sheet named "Data" with the following configuration:

Column A: Part Numbers
Column B: Disposiciones
Column C: Proveedor

Formula Example

To retrieve unique part numbers for each disposition associated with the provider's name:

Unique Part Numbers for Disposition 1: Use the following formula in a cell, e.g., E2:
```
=UNIQUE(FILTER(Data!A:A, Data!B:B="Disposition 1", Data!C:C="Provider Name"))
```
Unique Part Numbers for Disposition 2: Use the following formula in another cell, e.g., F2:
```
=UNIQUE(FILTER(Data!A:A, Data!B:B="Disposition 2", Data!C:C="Provider Name"))
```

Explanation of the Formula

UNIQUE: This function returns unique values from a specified range, eliminating duplicates.
FILTER: This function filters a range based on specified conditions.
- Data!A:A: The range containing the part numbers.
- Data!B:B="Disposition 1": This condition filters only the entries labeled as "Disposition 1".
- Data!C:C="Provider Name": This condition ensures the provider's name matches the specified name.

Implementation Steps

Input the dataset into the "Data" sheet as specified above.
In the main sheet where you want to display the results, input the formula for both dispositions.
Adjust the "Provider Name" in the formulas with the actual provider's name to obtain desired results.

Practical Illustration

Assuming you have the following data in the "Data" sheet:

Part Number	Disposition	Provider Name
PN001	Disposition 1	Provider A
PN002	Disposition 1	Provider A
PN003	Disposition 2	Provider A
PN001	Disposition 1	Provider B
PN004	Disposition 2	Provider A

Applying the formulas:

For Disposition 1 (in E2): Returns uniquely "PN001", "PN002".
For Disposition 2 (in F2): Returns uniquely "PN003", "PN004".

Conclusion

This structured approach in Google Sheets allows you to compile and review part numbers corresponding to two different dispositions, linked with a provider's name. By adjusting the filters within the formulas, this can be further customized to suit varying datasets and additional dispositions as necessary.
