Enter data from one or other column (A or B) depending on value in C

  • I've been searching for an Excel formula to do this but suspect only VBA will do it. Can anyone help me please?


    I have columns ABCD.
    A and B contain data
    C contains numbers 0-9 - randomly - sometimes there will be duplicates
    Rules:
    Enter data into D from A until number in C=4 (trigger value)
    AFTER this point, begin inserting data from B
    When data in C=5 (trigger value), AFTER this point, begin inserting data from A again.
    Example follows. NB Data between trigger values will continue to be taken from either A or B until the next trigger.
    Many thanks.
