Noctos,

You can use an array entered VLOOKUP to return multiple columns
If your original vlookup was something like
for the first value =VLOOKUP(A25,A1:G5,2,FALSE)
for the second value =VLOOKUP(A25,A1:G5,3,FALSE)
for the third =VLOOKUP(A25,A1:G5,4,FALSE)
etc....

You can select a range of 6 cells and put in:
=VLOOKUP(A25,A1:G5,{2,3,4,5,6,7},FALSE)
array enter (control + shift + enter)
if done properly {} braces will appear around the formula
and all 6 cells will recieve values.

{=VLOOKUP(A25,A1:G5,{2,3,4,5,6,7},FALSE)}
