Default lookup and extract

Here's one formulas set-up which delivers it the way you're after ..

Take this sample construct from my archives:
http://www.savefile.com/files/430142
AutoCopy Lines to Resp Sht Non Array.xls
(Full details inside, nicely rendered. Easy to adapt ..)

Data is continuously entered in a master ("parent") sheet, with lines neatly
auto-copied to each individual ("child") sheet based on the values within a
key col.

In the sample, the key col in the master sheet is the "State" col, which may
contain eg: NY, CA, NV, SD, AZ, etc. All lines with "NY" in the key col will
be auto-copied to the sheet named: NY, and appear neatly bunched at the top.
Ditto for lines with "CA", "NV", etc which will be copied into their
respective sheets.

Propagation of the "child" sheet is as simple as making a copy of the
initial one, then renaming it accordingly as the next key col value. Eg we
first formulate one child sheet for "NY", dress it up nicely, then just make
copies of the "NY" sheet, and rename these as: CA, NV, SD, etc.

In your case, the key col would be your "Names" col, eg: djones, marce etc

ok, I have multiple names I need to extract along with all the data on the
same row to another sheet. These names will appear multiple times.

There's about 2 hundred of these I do daily. Again I need to focus only on
the names which one person's name could apear 10-20 times in any order and I
need all the data associated with in the row to move to another sheet.


ex:
djones red bike
marce green shoes
phaul red gloves
marce blue hat
phaul green bike
djones blue ball

hope i was clear on this
