lookup multiple occurrences of a value excel
Hi,
can anyone suggest a way to lookup multiple occurrences of a value in excel and return a value from a cell from a cell in the same row of each occurrence. I want the values returned to each be in a separate cell. thanks e.g. I want to put a lookup formula in columns e, f and g of row 2 in wkbk 1 that would look at the isbn in a1, find it in wkbk 2, then return the first occurrence 'po' for that isbn to e1, the second occurrence to f1 and the third occurrence to g1. can anyone help?? workbook 1 a b c d e f g 1 isbn title price code 2 1234 dog 500 1 3 5678 cat 100 2 4 9101 rat 100 3 5 1121 pig 300 4 workbook 2 a b 1 isbn po 2 1234 abc 3 1234 xyz 4 5678 def 5 1121 xyz 6 1121 hij |
Try the following...
E2, copied down and across: =IF(COLUMN()-COLUMN($E2)+1<=COUNTIF(Sheet2!$A$2:$A$6,Sheet1!$A2 ),INDEX(Sh eet2!$B$2:$B$6,SMALL(IF(Sheet2!$A$2:$A$6=Sheet1!$A 2,ROW(Sheet2!$A$2:$A$6) -CELL("row",Sheet2!$A$2)+1),COLUMN()-COLUMN($E2)+1)),"") ....confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER. Hope this helps! In article , ckl wrote: Hi, can anyone suggest a way to lookup multiple occurrences of a value in excel and return a value from a cell from a cell in the same row of each occurrence.

Try this *array* formula in E2.
=INDEX(Sheet2!$B$1:$B$20,SMALL(IF(Sheet2!$A$1:$A$2 0=$A2,ROW($A$1:$A$20),""), COLUMN(A1))) Array formulas are entered with <Ctrl <Shift <Enter, where, when done correctly, will *automatically* be enclosed in curly brackets, which *cannot* be done manually. Then, just drag aross and down. If no (ISBN) match is found, or there are less then 3 P.O.'s, the #NUM! error will display. -- HTH, RD ============================================== Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ============================================== "ckl" wrote in message ...
