Hi,
If you wish, you may mail me the workbook at ask(at)ashishmathur(dot)com.
Since this would be a heavy file, please do not mail it to me. Upload the
file somewhere and then mail me the link.
Also, please explain the problem very clearly.

I have a list of 633 thousand entries that ties a movie number with all
the actors that were in it for about 166 thousand movie titles (numbers).
I want to reference that movie number, and extract a table or list of
only those entries that match that number from this list of all entries.
The returned list will be a list of numbers, which I will then derive a
list of names from an "actor's" sheet. This keeps the data set (file
size) smaller.
Movie_num Actor_num
1 22345
1 38425
2 12345
2 23456
2 34567
3 45678
3 56789
3 67890
3 78901
And then later...
Actor_num Actor_name
This one I can do.Those are just single lookups.
I just do not know how to extract a short list from a longer list.
