Perhaps my question is how do I properly enter the function into a
range of cells? It doesn't seem to be filling the range with the
function, no matter how I select the cells I want to put the results
in.

I've tried naming my range, and setting the function while the name is
selected. I've also Ctrl+R Ctrl+D filled the selection (didn't
honestly think that would work, but I figured I'd try it).

Thanks for the help thus far, Alan

If you're entering the function into a range of cells on the worksheet,
if the range is not large enough the function will return a message
telling you how many rows and columns need to be selected; if the range
is larger than necessary the function will return "" to the superfluous
cells. Are you experiencing something else?

If the functions in the freely downloadable file at
http://home.pacbell.net/beban are available to your workbook, then
assuming that your data starts at Cell A1 on Sheet2:

=ArrayRowFilter1(Sheet2!A1:C5,1,"ab12345") array entered into a range on
Sheet1 sufficiently large to accept the output.
