Default Returning Multiple Matches

Assume source data in Sheet1's cols A to G data from row2 down,
where the key cols are col A (Bar#) and col C (Node)

Set this up in an adjacent area to the right
In I2:
=IF(C2="","",IF(COUNTIF(C$2:C2,C2)1,"",ROW()))
Leave I2 blank

In J2:
=IF(ROWS($1:1)COUNT(I:I),"",INDEX(C:C,SMALL(I:I,R OWS($1:1))))
Select I2:J2 fill down to cover the max expected extent of source data

In K2:
=IF($C2="","",IF($C2=INDEX($J:$J,COLUMNS($A:A)+1), ROW(),""))
Copy K2 across as far as required, fill down
Leave K1 across blank

Then in another sheet,
In A1 across are your headers: Node, Bar1, Bar2 ...
In A2: =Sheet1!J2
In B2:
=IF(ISERROR(SMALL(OFFSET(Sheet1!$J:$J,,MATCH($A2,S heet1!$J:$J,0)-1),COLUMNS($A:A))),"",INDEX(Sheet1!$A:$A,SMALL(OFF SET(Sheet1!$J:$J,,MATCH($A2,Sheet1!$J:$J,0)-1),COLUMNS($A:A))))
Copy B2 across as far as required, say to K2. Select A2:K2, fill down to
cover the the max expected extent of source data in Sheet1. And that should
return the exact results that you seek.

302 604 12 6 6.625 6.065 0.28

And i would like a function or something to use the match feature to return
Data like

Node Bar1 Bar2 Bar3 Bar4 Bar5 Bar6 Bar7
3 1
4 2
5 85
6 86
7 43
8 44
9 3 1 241 141
10 4 2 242 142
11 87 85 101 311 141 301
12 88 86 102 312 142 302

And so on, how can i do this? when i do a match, it only returns the first
value, same with VLOOKUP.

Any advice or code would be appreciated...
