Default match values in two different columns


dear forum,

help please.
i have 2 columns in sheet 1: col A is employee ID, col B is Dept name.
i want to search col B, match it with the employee ID in col A.
i have several other sheets so that each sheet shows only the employee
IDs for one particular dept.

so far i have used a simple if(dept="marketing",a1,"--"). i am not too
sure how to use vlookup in this case. also i dont want to skip rows.

this is what i am getting with my formula
sheet 1 sheet 2
sheet 3
1012 Acct --
1012 acct
1064 Marketing 1064 marketing
--
2066 Admin --
--
5066 Acct --
5066 acct
6654 Marketing 6654 marketing
--

sorry this post is longwinded, but i thought i'd give as much b/ground
info as possible.

thanx

thomas.
