Extracting data from unstructured Excel

Hi all,

 

I'm having trouble extracting data from an unstructured Excel file. The file contains a certain data set that repeats multiple times in the sheet. From each data set I need to extract a few data fields. Please see below for an example. The first screen shot is the raw file, the second screen shot the output I want to achieve.

Any tips or recommendations to get me started? I've attached an example Excel file for reference. Many thanks!

Hey @ChrisMB

 

Multirow formula is king here! You can use it to copy down the Team and Office data you need and then filter out everything else:
