So you are looking up ABECY in this range, and you want Router not
Switch? What is the rule that detemines Router and not Switch?

So if I have

A * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *B
ABECY * * * * * * * * * Switch
ABECY * * * * * * * * * Router

I need router, but the list of possible reponses is not constant.

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B2,'[HSIA Equipment Inventory With
GP.xls]A-L'!$A$1:$K$38339,5,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(B2,'[HSIA Equipment Inventory
With GP.xls]A-L'!$A$1:$K$38339,5,FALSE))

This may have already been covered but I cannot find it...

What I need is this,

Simple Vlookup, but I need to return a value if it matches a text filter

Each lookup value will return several results, but I only want a return if
it matches..

So, if I were to write it how I think it should work..

=VLOOKUP(B2,Array,5,True if Match(text))- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -
