Thanks,
Unfortunately that is what I did and the result was a column of blank
cells.
For a simple example, assume:
Range B4:B14 = department #s
Range C4:C14 = employee names
In columns F - H in row 2, I want to be able to input the 3 different dept
#s. In rows 3 and higher, I want to enter the array to list out the
employees within each dept. When I enter the following formula, I get
blank
cells and I'm not sure why:
=IF(ISERROR(INDEX($B$4:$C$14,SMALL(IF($B$4:$B$14=F $2,ROW($B$4:$B$14)),ROW(1:1)),2)),"",INDEX($B$4:$C $14,SMALL(IF($B$4:$B$14=F$2,ROW($B$4:$B$14)),ROW(1 :1)),2))
Any idea?
Thanks again for your time.

Hi,
To make it work, you have to array enter the formula (Ctrl+Shift+Enter)
