I have a workbook with a sheet "Lot Information" where the homeowners
name and lot number is listed:


Column A - Lot #
Column C - Owner Name


"Lot Information Sheet"
Column A -Home Owner
Name * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Column B - Lot #
Joe
Smith
A1
Ben
Jones
A2
Al
Baker
A3
Al
Baker
A4


I have another sheet called "Checks Received". What I want is "Checks
Received" sheet to look at the name from "Lot Information" sheet and
give me the lot #(s).


"Checks Received"
Column A-Homeowner
Name * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Column
B - Lot#(s)
Joe
Smith
A1
Ben
Jones
A2
Al
Baker
A3, A4


The problem I am having is a homeowner can and some do own several
lots. How do I set it so, it will find each lot owned?


Thanks

Depending on exactly what you want to accomplish, you can run a pivot
table on the first table to give a list of names in the first column
and each lot they own in the next column. *You can store this table as
a manual lookup reference. *I can guide you through creating the pivot
table if you need help and this meets your needs.


The pivot table would look something like this:


Bob Smith * * * 102a
* * * * * * * * * * * 104a
* * * * * * * * * * * 105a
Mary Jones * * 302a
* * * * * * * * * * * 404b
* * * * * * * * * * * 504a- Hide quoted text -

But a pivot table would not place all the lots owned by an owner into
a single cell would it? For example if Bob Smith is in cell A1 and he
owns 3 lots I want all 3 lots howing in cell B1. Is this possible with
a pivot table?

You want the lots in a single cell, separated by what? *A comma, tab,
hard return, space?- Hide quoted text -

Seperated by a comma, space would be ideal
