I would suggest you not do this.

Why don't you just put each lookup value in its own cell?

No, the quotes are used just to indicate the actual values of the cells.

I replied to Jacob also asking if the vlookup could do more than 2 items,
too. For example

Sheet 1
A1 = "Me, You, Him, Her"
B1 = (after vlookup) "Art, Joe"

Sheet 2
A1 = "Me" and B1 = "Art"
A2 = "You" and B2 = "Joe"
A3 = "Us" and B2 = "Patrice"
A4 = "Him" and B2 = "Mike"
A5 = "Them" and B2 = "Oscar"
A6 = "Her" and B2 = "Janet"

Then Sheet1B1 should display "Art, Joe, Mike, Janet".

Thanks!

Does your data actually contain all those quotes?

Is it possible to have a cell contain two pieces of informaton (e.g.,
A1 =
"Me, You"), a vlookup statement to look for each pece of informaton in
that
cell (e.g., first "Me", then "You") in another sheet, and display the
match
in B1?

Sheet 1
A1 = "Me, You"
B1 = (after vlookup) "Art, Joe"

Sheet 2
A1 = "Me" and B1 = "Art"
A2 = "You" and B2 = "Joe"

I tried all different kinds of =VLOOKUP with different functions, and I
can't figure t out, of course I assume its possble to even use VLOOKUP
in
this way. Perhaps I need to use a macro?

Thanks!
