Hi!

this formula works if the sheet is sorted by the value i'm looking up and
if
there are no duplicates in the field I want returned.


The sheet does not need to be sorted and it doesn't matter if there are dupe
return values.

Post the *EXACT* formula that you tried.

I then want to include this
in a weekly dashboard for the 50+ managers i'm monitoring.
have you got anything else?


Pivot table or filter

either
incorrect values returned or errors..

basically, i have a sheet listing jobs scheduled by managers. I want to
be
able to look up the manager's name and return a list of all the job's
scheduled and the dates they were scheduled on. I then want to include
this
in a weekly dashboard for the 50+ managers i'm monitoring.

Thanks for the response, but have you got anything else?

The basic formula is something like this:

Entered as an array using the key combo of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER:

=INDEX(B$1:B$10,SMALL(IF(A$1:A$10=lookup_value,ROW ($1:$10)),ROW(1:1)))

Then copy down.

Where column A contains the lookup_value and column B contains the values
to
be returned.

Need more specific details to offer a more robust suggestion.

i want to look up a name that occurs several times in one column of a
spreadsheet and return corresponding values from each row the name
occurs
on.
Vlookup returns only one value. How can I get multiple values?
