I am compering the content of a cell agains another group of cells and when
it finds a match, I need the formula to return data from a specific cell on
the right hand side and one or more cell daown from it.
This is what I have so far but final yet.

=IF(ISBLANK($C30),"",VLOOKUP($C30,Data!$A$1:$C$871 ,2,FALSE))

How can I do this.
Thanks,

What do you mean by "one or more cells down from it"? Is it one cell
down, or 2, 3 ??

You would be better using an INDEX/MATCH combination rather than
VLOOKUP, but I can't give you a sample formula until you can define
how many rows down from the matching cell you want the data returned
from.

'To return from 1 column to the right ColumnB and 2 row down
=IF(ISBLANK($C30),"",INDEX(Data!$B$1:$B$871,MATCH( $C30,Data!$A$1:$A$871,0)+2))

'To return from 2 column to the right ColumnB and 1 row down
=IF(ISBLANK($C30),"",=INDEX(Data!$C$1:$C$871,MATCH ($C30,Data!$A$1:$A$871,0)+1))

I RECEIVED another example of someone else, suggesting to use the same
functions that you have suggested and it has worked.
I saw your work with others in the forum and I think you could have lead me
to a good result.
