Morning Biff. Thanks for the reply. Getting and error. Here's what you
recommended:

=INDEX(Rng2,SMALL(IF((Rng1=$Z$1)*(Rng30),ROW(INDI RECT("1:"&ROWS(Rng2)))),ROW(A1)))

this is my exact formula (array entered):

=INDEX('PO Detail'!D$1:D$500,SMALL(IF(('PO Detail'!B$1:B$500=$B$3)*('PO
Detail'!K$1:K$5000),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS('PO Detail'!B$1:B$500)))),ROW('PO
Detail'!B87)))

it looks like we're mutiplying rng3 x corresponding value in rng1. one of
the issues is rng1 is text. is there a way to just check to see if rng3 is
greater than "0". i tried, but now luck.

any thoughts?

you nailed it kid. got the result i was looking for in terms of being
able
to have a variable length array. here's my next question:

lets assume my formula reads as follows:

=INDEX(Rng2,SMALL(IF(Rng1=$z$1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&R OWS(Rng2)))),ROW(A1)))

...and my data looks like this:

a(rng2) b(rng1) c (rng4)
1 y1 p1 5
2 x1 p2 1
3 y1 p3 0
4 z1 p4 3
5 q1 p5 4

if my $z$1 value is "y1"...the formula returns 2 data sets:

y1 p1
y1 p3

the thing is, i only want the result delivered if the value in (rng3) is
"0"

can you help me?

thanks in advance.

Biff,

I'm using your formula:

=INDEX($B$1:$B$190,SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$190=$D$1,ROW($ A$1:$A$190)),ROW(A1)))

My question is this: Can the ranges $B$1:$B$190 and A$1:$A$190 be
named
ranges with variable amounts of data? I export data out of our
accounting
and want to use the formula, but the number of data points changes. It
seems
that the function only works if all the cells between $b$1 and $b$190
have
data. Am i missing something?

thanks in advance,

Hi

Your problem lies in the last part of the formula.
The argument for the SMALL() function that Biff proposed was ROW(A1)
which would be 1, but would be stepped up to 2, 3 etc. as you copied
down.

In this posting you are using ROW('PO Detail'!B87) and in your previous
posting ROW('PO Detail'!B87)
Change to ROW(A1) and it should work.

(N.B. It doesn't need to have any sheet reference, as it is not being
used to refer to any particular cell, it is just a method of getting the
smallest, 2nd smallest etc.)

thanks for the input roger. the b87 ref was due to the fact that i was
copying the formula from the 87th row in my list. however it did set it back
to a1 and i'm showing below the formula from the 1st row in my range.

however i am still getting results of items for which the value in G$1:G$500
corresponding to rng2 is 0.

=INDEX('PO Detail'!D$1:D$500,SMALL(IF(('PO Detail'!B$1:B$500=$B$3)*('PO

Hi

Biff posted
=INDEX(Rng2,SMALL(IF((Rng1=$z$1)*(Rng30),ROW(INDI RECT("1:"&ROWS(Rng2)))),ROW(A1)))

^^^^^
You posted
=INDEX('PO Detail'!D$1:D$500,
SMALL(IF(('PO Detail'!B$1:B$500=$B$3)*
('PO Detail'!G$1:G$5000),
ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS('PO Detail'!B$1:B$500)))),ROW(A1)))

You therefore seem to have

=INDEX(Rng2,SMALL(IF((Rng1=$z$1)*(Rng30),ROW(INDI RECT("1:"&ROWS(Rng1)))),ROW(A1)))

^^^^^
This should not affect the result as it is only a way of getting an
array of results corresponding with the size of your table.
It certainly doesn't affect results with the original sample of data you
posted, which works perfectly with Biff's formula using rng1 or rng2
I don't know what your full set of data contains. I presume $B$3 does
contain the value you are looking for.
It should work OK.

Did you use Ctrl+Shift+Enter to make it an array formula when you
amended?
You say you are getting an error, what error is it coming up with?
