vlookup with two recors
Hi,
Your a bit short on detail but here's a lookup that will find the first and other matches. It's an ARRAY formula see below on how to enter it. The lookup value is in E1 and it looks up column A and returns column B Array enter the formula and it will return the first match. Drag down for the second match and third match etc. It will return blanks when the matches run out. =IF(ROWS(B$1:B1)=COUNTIF($A$1:$A$20,$E$1),INDEX($ B$1:$B$20,SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$20=$E$1,ROW($A$1:$A$20)-ROW($E$1)+1),ROWS(B$1:B1))),"") This is an array formula which must be entered by pressing CTRL+Shift+Enter and not just Enter. If you do it correctly then Excel will put curly brackets around the formula {}. You can't type these yourself. If you edit the formula you must enter it again with CTRL+Shift+Enter. -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.
