I don't know how to do what you're after with a vlookup, but I'd be tempted
to use a pivot table instead. Use invoice number for field 1 of the pivot
table, and date for the second field - you'll end up with one occurrence of
each order no. in column 1 of the table, and then next to it a consecutive
list of dates.

Ok, basically I want to do a lookup to return some figures... I know
all the VLOOKUP, etc... trouble is I don't just want to return one
figure. It may be 1 figure but then it may be about 9/10 as well.


I've got a list of order numbers and a list of orders that need an
invoice date next to them. So I've done a bog standard vlookup and it
only returns one figure where as there might be 10 invoices related to
1 order... make any sense :?


(Table 1)

Order Number................... Invoice Date

10010001....................... 22/11/05
10010001....................... 14/10/05
10010002....................... 25/09/05
10010002....................... 21/12/05
10010002....................... 23/11/05
10010002....................... 05/10/05
10010002....................... 15/11/05
10010003....................... 20/12/05
etc...


(Table 2)

Order Number.... Supplier.... Invoice Date

10010001........ xxxxxxxx.... *lookup from table 1*
10010002........ xxxxxxxx.... *lookup from table 1*
10010003........ xxxxxxxx.... *lookup from table 1*




Any ideas??
