Hi!

This data is in the range A2:B6:

E456 --- A
E123 --- B
E222 --- A
F567 --- G
D333 --- A

D2 = lookup value = A

Enter this formula as an array using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER:

=IF(ROWS($1:1)<=COUNTIF(B$2:B$6,D$2),INDEX(A$2:A$6 ,SMALL(IF(B$2:B$6=D$2,ROW(A$2:A$6)-ROW(A$2)+1),ROWS($1:1))),"")

Copy down until you get blanks.

Hi,

I have a database of Requestors and Request IDs. I used Vlookup to
Return the requestors name if i enter a request ID coz one request ID
can be of one requestor only.

But....One requestor can have many request IDs. Now what function
should I use to return all the request IDs if I enter one requestor's
name.

For example ---

E456 --- A
E123 --- B
E222 --- A
F567 --- G
D333 --- A

Now as per this sample, If i enter E456, VLOOKUP would return A. But If
I enter A, I want excel to return E456, E222 and D333.

Thanks in advance.
