I have a list of names and telephone numbers. Many people on the lis
have multiple numbers. When I use Index(result,Match(looku
value,lookup array,0)), I always get the first phone number. I woul
like to be able to find the second and third phone numbers o
individuals.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks
 
Hi
try the following array formula
=INDEX(result,SMALL(IF(lookup array=lookup value,ROW(lookup
array)),ROW(1:1)))
and copy this down

If the freely downloadable file at http://home.pacbell.net/beban is
available to your workbook, you can array enter into a 3-cell (or 4-cell
or 5-cell or n-cell) column

=VLookups(lookup_value, lookup_array, 2)

Is the list exactly like that or are the numbers scattered or what? Does
each row have all the information for a single number?

Will you have multiple cells to which the values will be returned?
