It returns the instance of the match, so you just pass it to an INDEX
function to get the value

=INDEX(B:B,MATCH(A1,A:A))

Yes, that tells me how many matches I have, but I need to know what the
two
matches are. For example if I want to know all the diffent numbers that
are
assinged to Peters, Carol, I would want the result to be 345122 and
345141.
I didn't quite explain that clearly.

I have a set of data of people and their corresponding registration
numbers.
This list is over 9000 rows long and many names can be duplicates if
someone
registered two different times over the course of a year. I currently
have a
formula set up to find the person (based on an another list) using
Index/Match. I can always find the first matching occurence using
Match,
but
in the case where someone registers more than one time, I can't get
the
second matching registration number. Any ideas?
