Default how to return mulitple corresponding values

I'm also trying to do this. I need to lookup a value in one column that
returns multiple values in the second column, but I want to list it out with
"^" between the values. I need to do this dynamically for multiple lookup
values.

Can you help me?

You can do that, however, since the formula returns possible multiple
results for each lookup value you'd have to use another formula (the same
one, just change =$A$60 to the next cell reference).

I would like to copy down and do this for all the values in the list not
just
the value from A60

=INDEX($A2:$H15,SMALL(IF($A$2:$A$15=$A$60,ROW($A$2 :$A$15)),ROW(1:1)),5)

Use this:

=INDEX($A2:$H15,SMALL(IF($A$2:$A$15=$A$60,ROW($A$2 :$A$15)-ROW(A$2)+1),ROWS($1:1)),5)

can I change $A$2:$A$15=$A$60 to look up a range?

What do you mean?

One more question please....

If the fromula:
=INDEX($A2:$H15,SMALL(IF($A$2:$A$15=$A$60,ROW($A$2 :$A$15)),ROW(1:1)),5)

can I change $A$2:$A$15=$A$60 to look up a range?

That worked...thanks

Type the formula then, instead of hitting ENTER like you normally
would,
hold down both the CTRL key AND the SHIFT key then hit ENTER. When
done
properly Excel will enclose the formula in squihhly braces { }. You
can't
just type these braces in, you MUST use the key combination to
produce
them.

If you're still having problems I'll be glad to look at your file
and
see
if
I can figure it out. Just let me know how to contact you.

That still does not work for me. Am I missing something?
I did the key stroke of (CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER) 1ST
Entered the formula
and I get the VALUE error

Hi!

The basic formula is something like this:

Entered as an array using the key combo of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER:

=INDEX(B$1:B$10,SMALL(IF(A$1:A$10=lookup_value,ROW ($1:$10)),ROW(1:1)))

Then copy down.

Where column A contains the lookup_value and column B contains
the
values
to
be returned.

Need more specific details to offer a more robust suggestion.

i want to look up a name that occurs several times in one
column
of a

name
occurs
on.
Vlookup returns only one value. How can I get multiple
values?
