Hi all, I have an excel sheet that I will be using to put in Id's of a study in columns I have column A, B, C, D , E, F, G H, I , J ,K I am enrolling patients in a case:control study of 1:3 ratio - the cases are categorized into different types into column A, B, C to K every time I enroll a case I want to enroll 3 controls for that particular case 1) when I enroll another case of same category I should enroll other three controls 2) If I enroll two subsequent different case categories the controls for the first case should be assigned to the second case 3) If the third case is of different category I should enroll another set of 3 controls
e.g If first case is case A then I enroll 3 controls, if tomorrow I enroll another case and its in category A I should enroll another set of 3 controls, If third day I get case of category A still I enroll 3 new controls cycle continues,However if one day I enroll a case and its in category B i do not enroll a new set of controls I just populate its row with ID's for controls in previous case A, If next day I get case B or C I enroll new controls. I need a formula that will highlight or prompt for new controls.
