Here's one simple formulas driven way to get it up & going ...
Illustrated in this sample:

Query multiple results in other sht.xls
Source data in x, in cols A to C,
data from row2 down (key col's names in A2 down)
In another "search" sheet,
Input in A2, eg: Jeff Corwin
In C2:
=IF($A$2="","",IF($A$2=x!A2,ROW(),""))
Leave C1 blank
In D2:
=IF(ROWS($1:1)COUNT($C:$C),"",INDEX(x!A:A,SMALL($ C:$C,ROWS($1:1))))
Copy D2 to F2. Select C2:F2, copy down to cover the max expected extent of
data in x. Minimize/Hide col C. Cols D to F returns the multiple results for
the name entered in A2, all neatly bunched at the top

I am trying to make a query formula that allows my employees to type in their
name and read their stats from several other files. I can't use VLOOKUP
because there are usually more than one line of data per person. See Example:
I want a function that will search through this list:
Jeff Corwin New York 3
April Bellingham Chicago 5
Jeff Corwin Chicago 4
Andrew Mulligan Dallas 6
Jeff Corwin Dallas 6
And return this data (if value entered in search cell is "Jeff Corwin"):
Jeff Corwin New York 3
Jeff Corwin Chicago 4
Jeff Corwin Dallas 6
