MS Excel - create table which filters input data based on criteria, including input data headings

I’m trying to get my head around an excel formula but am struggling… any help would be appreciated.

Scenario

Input Data:I have a table detailing a list of people and dates on which they are to perform various tasks.

NameOrganisationTask 1Task 2Task 3
JamesTesco19/10/202411/10/202413/10/2024
HannahSainsbury16/11/202419/12/202401/12/2024
SarahTesco18/11/202416/11/202401/12/2024
JaneAsda20/08/202409/08/202401/11/2024
PhilM&S22/11/202412/12/202406/11/2024

Output Data:I’m looking to create a table that shows which tasks are out of date and for whom. This would involve getting:

  1. The names of people who have an out-of-date task
  2. The header showing which task is out of date
  3. The date of the task

Assuming the date is 14/10/2024 the output for the above input data would look like:

NameOrganisationTaskDate
JaneAsdaTask 120/08/2024
JamesTescoTask 313/10/2024
JaneAsdaTask 209/08/2024

I was planning on using the “Filter” function, however whilst this will give me a list of Names/Organisations for people who have outstanding tasks, I don’t believe I can use it to show what task is outstanding or the date.

Is what I’m looking to do possible, or have I reached the limit of Excel functions?

Thanks in advance for any help.
