extracting similar data from a list
The "overhead" in your computer will be happier if you do it with a macro.

Thanks Teethless. I had managed to come across that formula in another
forum.
Thanks for the macro idea too Don. I overlooked using that method with a
macro.
Both ideas work for me, but I am going with the formula

Let's say you data in Sheet1
in sheet2 A1 =jan
Sheet2 B1
=IF(ISERR(SMALL(IF(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$6=Sheet2!$A$1,RO W(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS(Sheet1!$B$1:$B$6)))),ROWS($1: 1))),"",INDEX(Sheet1!$B$1:$B$6,SMALL(IF(Sheet1!$A$ 1:$A$6=Sheet2!$A$1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS(Sheet1!$ B$1:$B$6)))),ROWS($1:1))))
ctrl+shift+enter (not just enter)
Copy down as far as need

I asked this question, but I would like to clarify. I have a range of
data
as shown:
a b
1 jan 5
2 feb 6
3 mar 7
4 jan 8
5 mar 10
6 jan 3
On a different sheet, I would like to extract all the data that is the
same
in 'a' and its corresponding value in 'b', and I would like them all
together. No blanks in between. I would like on a different sheet to
see
all the 'jan' in the first three cells on the sheet with the values
from 'b'
beside them. Or, if it were 'feb' that I wanted, I would only see one
cell,
etc.
Thanks,
