Multiple matches on VLOOKUP

[dennishancy]

Question about VLOOKUP...


In Sheet1, I have my source data.

| A | B |
-------------------------
1 | 1 | =vlookup(a1,map,2, false)
--------------------------
2 | 2 | =vlookup(a2,map,2, false)


In Sheet2, I have my "map" defined for cells A1:B4

| A | B |
---------------------------------
1 | 1 | data1
---------------------------------
2 | 2 | data2
---------------------------------
3 | 2 | data2b
---------------------------------
4 | 2 | data2c
---------------------------------

The first record works great.

The second one poses a problem since I have multiple occurences of
record #2. It only picks up the first one.

Any idea how I can have all occurences returned?

Thanks.

Hello Dennis,

maybe my vlookupall() function can help you:

Here's a formula that can retrieve more than one match

however I would personally use a filter
