if you want to use multiple cells, then you'll be best to add a new column
and concatenate the data from the columns to

so if A1 B1 and C1 are three items to look up, in D1 =A1 & B1 & C1

if your table is say K1: Tnn
then in J1 put =K1 & L1 & M1 (whatever cols equate to your A,B & C cols

I have given VLOOKUP a go but I can only input one cell as the LOOKUP
cell,
can you give an example of adding multiple cells to the LOOKUP function.

Thanks

I have cells that are under day Monday on a shift resource cells are
D8, E10, D14, D18, when I fill these cells with a name J. Smith, I need
cell
M4 to display either 07:00 - 19:00 or 07:00 - 15:00 or 15:00 - 23:00 or
19:00
- 07:00 depending on what shift times the name is entered in. So if I
enter
J. Smith in cell D8 I need cell M4 to report 07:00 - 15:00 or if I
enter
J.
Smith into cell D14 I nedd cell M4 to report 15:00 - 23:00.

The same name will never be entered into more than 1 cell per day.

Can anyone give me some help on this.

Regards
