Hi Bernie,

I have been looking for an Excel fn to look in the first column of a
table and return the following column entries when it finds a match.
Unforunately my table has duplicate entries in column 1 and vlookup
will only return one row. For example, I want to get out all the rows
with "Ben" in the first column and paste them to a new worksheet.

Can you pls pls steer me in the right direction? Im doing my head in :(

Cheers in Advance I hope

BEn

Array enter (enter using Ctrl-Shift-Enter) a formula like this into a

cell in column A:

=SMALL(IF(3:3="Test",COLUMN(3:3)),COLUMN())

and copy to the right. This will return the column numbers that contain

"Test" in row 3.

You can hide the errors by using

=IF(ISERROR(...),"",...)

where ... is the formula above.

If you want to find other values, then you can use this array formula

=INDEX(4:4,SMALL(IF(3:3="Test",COLUMN(3:3)),COLUMN ()))

which will return the values from row 4 when row 3 = "Test"

Is there a function to look up and return multiple columns similar to
the vlookup which returns just one column.

Thanks
