I will try these and see if I can make it work.
Thank you so much to all. I'll post back if needed.

Assumptions:

A2:E19 contains the data

Format is consistent

G2 contains the customer number of interest

Formulas:

H2: 5

(This indicates that data from 5 years ago should be returned for the
customer of interest. Change this accordingly.)

I2:

=MATCH(9.99999999999999E+307,A:A)

J2:

=MATCH(G2,A:A,0)+3

K4:

=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,CHOOSE({1,2},I2-J2+1,MATCH(TRUE,INDEX(A:A,J
2):INDEX(A:A,I2)="",0)-1))

...confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just ENTER.

L2, copied across:

=VLOOKUP($H2,INDEX($A:$A,$J$2):INDEX($E:$E,$J$2+$K $2-1),COLUMNS($L2:L2)+1
,0)

Note that I2:K2 are helper cells, and can be hidden, if desired.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

I'm building a sheet that pulls data from another worksheet based on a
customer number, so when I enter a customer number into cell it will pull
specific information. The part I'm stuck on is this....There are varying
numbers of rows below each customers' data depending on the number of
years
they have been a customer....one row per year, starting with the current
year. I want to pull data for the pervious year, three years ago, five
years ago and the first year they were a customer. The data looks like
this:

"Cust. #1" "Cust. Name"

# Year Premium Losses Claims.....etc
1 2005 1000 50 1
2 2004 1500 10 2
3 2003 1500 0 0
4 2002 1500 15 1
5 2001 1500 15 1
6 2000 1500 10 1
7 1999 1500 0 0

"Cust. #2" "Cust. Name"

# Year Premium Losses Claims.....etc
1 2005 500 50 1
2 2004 500 10 2
3 2003 500 0 0
4 2002 500 15 1

The column with the # and numbers is actually part of the data, not the
Excel row number. So when I enter a customer number to look up, I need
it
to look at only the data for that customer and pull rows 1, 3, 5 and the
last row, whatever it might be.

Is this possible, or am I dreaming?? I hope that makes sense.
Thanks,
Dan
