VLookup a given critera and return a value without duplication
 

Hi all,
Just wonderind if someone can help me. I have a table of data and need to
split it alphabetically a-i and j-z.
I can do the if's and vlookup functions to get this info, however excel only
finds the first matching data and returns that value.
Can someone please help me come up with a way to make excel not look at
cells already looked at?
Thanks

ExcelOz

I always use a helper column(s) for this by concatenating columns in the
original data enough to make it unique. e.g

A B C
Jan 2006 1234
Jan 2006 2345

Then in D enter - =A1&B1&C1 then use a vlookup on this
