What i want to do is that when i enter a code (let's say 301) in th
cell G2, then in cells O3:O15 appear the dates corresponding to th
codes 300,301,302,303,304,305 & 306.
And if i enter 312, then in cells O3:O15 appear the dates correspondin
to the codes 307,308,309,310,311 & 312 ( taking into account that "301
that i entered in cell G2 is a part of "302+301" in cell E6)

I entered 3 formulas that have solved a part of the problem, but th
last problem is that the date corresponding to "302+301" was no
included coz it's not exactly what I entered in G2.. So could u pleas
modify my formulas or create others to solve that problem ??

Here are my formulas

In O1
=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,CHOOSE({1,2},MATCH(G2,CodeListA,0),MATCH(G2,CodeListB,0)),CHOOSE({1,2
,"CodeListA","CodeListB"))

In O2 (ctrl+shift+enter)
{=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(E2:E18,INDIRECT(O1),0)),1))}

In Range O3:O15 (ctrl+shift+enter)
{=IF(ISNA($O$1),"",IF(ROWS($O$3:O3)<=$O$2,INDEX($D$2:$D$18,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH($E$2:$E$18,INDIR
CT($O$1),0)),ROW($D$2:$D$18)-ROW($D$2)+1),ROWS($O$3:O3))),""))}

And these are the results

N O
1 Range : CodeListA Where CodeListA is the range B2:B7
2 No. of dates 7 While it has to be 9 !!
3 Dates: 17/3/2010
22/3/2010
14/5/2010
9/11/2010
28/7/2010
2/2/2010
9/2/2010

Thank yo

CodeListA refers to B$2:B$7
CodeListB refers to B$10:B$15

Create this additional name:

LookupCodes
Refers to:

=TRANSPOSE(INDIRECT(Sheet1!$N$2))

Use the appropriate sheet name.

G2 = some code like 301

Enter this formula in N2. This will return the name of the range that the
code number in G2 is located in.

=IF(COUNTIF(CodeListA,G2),"CodeListA",IF(COUNTIF(CodeListB,G2),"CodeListB",""))

Enter this array formula** in O2. This will return the count of records that
meet the criteria.

=IF(N2="","",SUM(--(MMULT(--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(LookupCodes,E2:E18))),ROW(INDIRECT(N2))^0)>0)))

Enter this array formula** in N3. This will extract the dates that meet the
criteria.

=IF(N2="","",IF(ROWS(N$3:N3)>O$2,"",INDEX(D:D,SMALL(IF(MMULT(--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(LookupCodes,E$2:E$18))),ROW(INDIRECT(N$2))^0)>0,ROW(E$2:E$18)),ROWS(N$3:N3)))))

Format as Date. Copy down until you get blanks.

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT
key then hit ENTER.

Ok, you say you want to highlight the dates associated with N2.

Why isn't 10/25/2010 (or 25/10/2010) highlighted?

This is getting really complicated. I hope there aren't any more changes!

The conditional formatting will work as long as there aren't duplicate dates
where one date is related to N2 and a duplicate date is not related to N2.
