I am having trouble with the following:

I have a sheet sorted in ID order and they have reported months next to them
(therefore there are duplicates ID).

Data source
2138 january 147
2138 february 161
2138 may 112
2138 june 191
2384 january 118
2384 february 119

New report
January february march april
2138
2384

I want to find a fuction where I need the 3rd column from source with ID and
Month matching.

Can you please help?

Here's one way:

Assume data in A2:B20. You want to extract data from column B that
corresponds to a lookup_value.

D2 = lookup_value

Array entered** :

=IF(ROWS($1:1)=COUNTIF(A$2:A$20,D$2),INDEX(B$2:B$ 20,SMALL(IF(A$2:A$20=D$2,ROW(B$2:B$20)-MIN(ROW(B$2:B$20))+1),ROWS($1:1))),"")

Copy down until you get blanks.

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER)

Data is in random order, and the data to be returned is text.

Is the data sorted so that the lookup_values are grouped together or is
the
data random? Is the data to be returned text or numeric?

I am using LOOKUP functions to retrieve info from a list. Some of the
lookup
values have more than one match in the list. Is there a function that
allows
me to retrieve multiple elements for one lookup value, or at least a
function
that tells me there are duplicate matches?
