Vlookup with two results
My Vlookup formula returns the name of the person within a cost centre.
However if there are two people within the cost centre it obviously doesn't return the second persons name. I want to have a second Vlookup formula (in another cell) which will pick up the name of the second person within the cost centre (there will no more than 2 people), or simply nothing if there is only 1 person within that cost centre. How can I do this? Thanks in advance of your help |

Luke,
Usually, a filter (Advanced or Autofilter) is used when you want such a dataset. It's a process you have to do each time, though. -- Earl Kiosterud www.smokeylake.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Luke" wrote in message ...

there will [be] no more than 2 people
Try something like this for the 2nd instance: A10 = lookup_value =IF(COUNTIF(A1:A5,A10)1,LOOKUP(2,1/(A1:A5=A10),B1:B5),"") Biff "Luke" wrote in message ...
