Default same name being returned

This will still get the first occurrence of 80%, not the subsequent
ones.

I think you are missing to enter a simple part in Vlookup
=Vlookup(Cell To Search,Range to Search,Col No,0)

E.g. =Vlookup(A1,$K1:$N1,2,0)

Just try editing your existing formula by ending it with ,0)

Just a guess I am taking as you have not posted the actual formula

I have set up a vlook function and I am returning peoples names for a given
array of data, however if multiple people share the same data in this case
percentage points it will return the same name over and over. I am not very
good with "IF" statements but I am assuming that is what I will need to use
to resolve this issue.


i.e. I am looking up 80% and Doug and Justin share that score, so for the
the two scores of 80% it is returning Doug twice instead of Doug once and
Justin once. How do I get it to return one and then once that name is used
than return the other one when that score appears again?


Sorry for the question not being articulated very well. Thanks!- Hide quoted text -
