This is what I want the result to look like.
1010 12
5
7
1020 22
13
1030 10

I can get the result to look like this:

1010...5...7...12
1020...13...22
1030...10

Do you want to go with that?

Hi Biff,

I've read quite a few of the posts on returning multiple corresponding
values but everything is basically over my head. I don't have any training
or
exp in this stuff. I've tried to replicate the example at:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...0551033#Remove

I was able to return only one value for ashish 234. I couldn't get the
formula to return 534 or 834. Here's the formula I have.

=INDEX($A$1:$B$7,SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$7=A10,ROW($A$1:$ A$7)),ROW(1:1)),2)

Even if I get this right, I'm not sure if it is what I need. I have a data
set where one value can have multiple corresponding values. It's not a 1:1
relationship. I want all values returned but only the distinct values.
Here's
an example of the data.

Acct Line
1010 12
1010 12
1010 12
1010 12
1010 12
1010 5
1010 7
1010 5
1020 22
1020 13
1030 10

This is what I want the result to look like.

1010 12
5
7
1020 22
13
1030 10

Can you help, please?

Hi!

this formula works if the sheet is sorted by the value i'm looking up
and
if
there are no duplicates in the field I want returned.

The sheet does not need to be sorted and it doesn't matter if there are
dupe
return values.

Post the *EXACT* formula that you tried.

I then want to include this
in a weekly dashboard for the 50+ managers i'm monitoring.
have you got anything else?

Pivot table or filter

either
incorrect values returned or errors..

basically, i have a sheet listing jobs scheduled by managers. I want
to
be
able to look up the manager's name and return a list of all the job's
scheduled and the dates they were scheduled on. I then want to include
this
in a weekly dashboard for the 50+ managers i'm monitoring.

Thanks for the response, but have you got anything else?

Hi!

The basic formula is something like this:

Entered as an array using the key combo of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER:

=INDEX(B$1:B$10,SMALL(IF(A$1:A$10=lookup_value,ROW ($1:$10)),ROW(1:1)))

Then copy down.

Where column A contains the lookup_value and column B contains the
values
to
be returned.

Need more specific details to offer a more robust suggestion.

i want to look up a name that occurs several times in one column of a
spreadsheet and return corresponding values from each row the name
occurs
on.
Vlookup returns only one value. How can I get multiple values?
