you will probably need to use some other function. More details are needed
to give you useful suggestions

More detail is required but lookups (VLOOKUP etc) only return one value at a
time i.e if you have duplicate "keys" it will return the first.

Scott,
would it not be easier to create one lookup, then a second lookup according
to that result ?

Have you got an example ?
