If you select the cell and it appears in the formula bar like:
{=SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$7=$A$10,ROW($A$1:$A$7)),ROW(1:1 ))}
then the key strokes have been entered correctly
If not, then:
1. click in the cell
2. click in the formula bar itself
3. touch CNTRL-SHFT-ENTER

"1. make sure you have adjusted the $A$1:$A7, etc. to match your needs"
I copied the one on the help page you gave me so I could learn from that
"2. be sure to enter the formula with CNTRL-SHFT-ENTER and not just the ENTER
key"
when I CNTRL-SHIFT-ENTER nothing actually happens - I have tried pressing
the function key (fx) and processing it that way but still no joy (the
CNTRL-SHIFT-ENTER is something I have never heard of doing)
thanks for your help

Ok tried to follow that however it doesnt work from the second part onwards
=SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$7=$A$10,ROW($A$1:$A$7)),ROW(1:1) )
that just returns "VALUE" and everything else is the same from that point
forward

You want to lookup and get multiple results. Kind of like Autofilter but with
a formula. This is well described in:

I am looking to see if excel can help with a form of query.
Sheet2 contains various data similar to:-
Code Description value (basicly a stock list)
Sheet1 has a Cell (A1) where I type any part of code or description and any
matching results from Sheet2 appear in rows A3 to A1000
I have failed upto now in figuring this one out - any help?
