Returning Multiple Text or Address Locations
I am trying to derive a formula to return text or Row-Column addresses with possibly more than one true instance and I am having trouble getting it to work. I tried using the sumproduct function but it does not return text. To fix this I added a column with nothing but numbers to return them but when the function finds more than one instance where it meets the requirements it sums the values (as it should) but I need a formula to return both values seperately. Currently this is how my formula reads. A[Y]=SUMPRODUCT(--(D[Y]=Sheet1!D2:D2000),--(E[Y]=Sheet1!E2:E2000),Sheet1!A2:A2000) where [Y] denotes the particular row in which the formula is entered. I do not care if the formula that I need returns text or the Row-Column address where each value is true. Any direction would be much appreciated. Thanks. -- jdurrmsu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jdurrmsu's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=27122 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=507502 |

Returning Multiple Text or Address Locations
Assume your data (text or numbers) is in column A from A1 to A30. Use
cell C1 to enter the value you are searching for. Enter this formula in B2: =MATCH(C$1,A$1:A30,0) and in B2: =MATCH(C$1,INDIRECT("A"&(1+B1)&":A30"),0)+B1 then copy this one down for a few cells, say to row 9. This will return the row that each item specified in C1 appears and #N/A when the list is exhausted - no error checking built in. You can add the following in cell D1: ="A"&B1 to get the cell address. Hope this helps. Pete |

Sorry, the first B2 should be B1 (it's getting late!)

Another interp and a play to extract it using non-array formulas
In Sheet1, Put in F2: =IF(OR(D2="",E2=""),"",IF((D2=Sheet3!$A$1)*(E2=She et3!$A$2),ROW(),"")) Copy F2 down to F2000 (Leave F1 empty) Then in Sheet3, Enter in A1, the value of interest in Sheet1's col D Enter in A2, the value of interest in Sheet1's col E Put in A3: =IF(ISERROR(SMALL(Sheet1!F:F,ROW(A1))),"", INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,MATCH(SMALL(Sheet1!F:F,ROW(A1)),S heet1!F:F,0))) Copy A3 down as far as required to cover the max expected returns for any set of inputs in A1:A2. If we expect the max returns to be say, 20 lines, then just copy A3 down to A22 A3:A22 will return all the values from Sheet1's col A for which the inputs in A1:A2 match what's within Sheet1's cols D & E (Results will be neatly bunched at the top) -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "jdurrmsu" wrote in message ...
