I need to create a lookup formula that will find all employees for a given
store location. My data is organized as follows:

Store # Employee name
10 Bob
10 Jane
10 Kelly
12 Ted
12 David
12 James
12 Carrie
16 Joe
16 Kristin
16 Al
16 Nick
16 John

The obstacle I've encountered with a VLookup is that if I look for Store
#12, my formula only returns the first employee for store #12. I need to
create a formula that will extract all the employees, then create a new table
with that data.

Help!

I would use a pivot table to summarize data by Store #.

Dave,

Thanks for your quick reply and excellent suggestion...unfortunately, my
ultimate use for this spreadsheet for for implimentation in a Crystal
Xcelsius dashboard, and Xcelsius will not work with a pivot table (at least
not that I can determine)...

I'm trying to work with some combination of Match and Index
functions..."Offset" is also not compatible with Xcelsius...

Can;t you just sort by Store #?

The data I will be working with will be sorted by store #; But I am working
with 75 or so stores, with 10-15 employees per store. So, I need to create a
formula that will "extract" all employees for a given store, and place the
data in a new worksheet.

My expertise with Lookup formulas is limited. I understand how to use
"Vlookup" to select a store and return the requested data, but not when there
are multiple rows of data with the same store number.

Perhaps this could be an option ..

Source data in Sheet1's cols A and B, from row2 down

In Sheet2,
Assume Store # will be input in B1

In A2:
=IF(Sheet1!A2="","",IF(Sheet1!A2=$B$1,ROW(),""))
Leave A1 empty

In B2:
=IF(ROW(A1)COUNT(A:A),"",INDEX(Sheet1!B:B,SMALL(A :A,ROW(A1))))
Select A2:B2, copy down to cover the max expected extent of data in Sheet1.
Hide away col A. Col B returns the required results all neatly bunched at the
top.

Max,

Thanks for your reply; again an excellent suggestion. But, Xcelsius is not
able to use "row" functions. I had previously run into this limitation with
another spreadsheet.

Sad to hear it's not an option, David. Probably you would have earlier ruled
out using an autofilter on the store# col as well? Just a thought.

Treat your data as a database, then on the sheet where you want the filtered
data to appear, go to Data-Import External Data-New Database Query

If you walk through the steps there, you'll see how you can identify the
Excel file as the database, and the range of data as a table. Use the help
file in Query to learn how to create a parameter query linked to a cell, and
plan for that cell to hold a store number. Once you've created your query
and identified the cell, you can change the cell value and run the query.
It'll bring in all the pertinent data

Duke,

Thank you for your input....unfortunately, because of some limitations of
Crystal Xcelsius (the application this excel spreadsheet "feeds") I have to
limit my data manipulation to formulas I can embed in the actual file;
Vlookup and Hlookup formulas are generally very helpful, but the data I need
to manipulate for this application is throwing me a curve ball....

Hi,
Xcelcius does allow you to have a "filter selector" that can solve
your problem. Or creating an unique id based on store#&Employee name
and then use that to find information. Hope this helps
Sujith

I understand the limitations of Xcelsius and am new to Office Online.
The idea here is to create a serial number by store that a vlookup formula
can find.
Column A concatenates C&B
Columna B use an If formula that re-sets the serialization to 1 as the store
number changes B3=IF(D3=D2,1+C2,1)

1 A B C D
2 Concatenate.Serial Store # Employee name
3 101 1 10 Bob
4 102 2 10 Jane
5 103 3 10 Kelly
6 121 1 12 Ted
7 122 2 12 David
8 123 3 12 James
9 124 4 12 Carrie
10 161 1 16 Joe
11 162 2 16 Kristin
12 163 3 16 Al
13 164 4 16 Nick
14 165 5 16 John
15
16 Input Store number 12
17 Concatenate.Serial Employee name
18 121 1 Ted
19 122 2 David
20 123 3 James
21 124 4 Carrie
22 125 5
23 126 6
24 127 7
A18=$D$16&A18 and copied down

Formula
D17=IF(B17COUNTIF(C2:$C$13,$C$15),"",VLOOKUP(A17, $A$2:$D$13,4,FALSE))
The countif determines how many employee's per store.
I hope this helps.
