Vlookup and combine all references

[BeckyB]

I have various items in a spreadsheet. Some of these items are repeated in
another row, but have a different text description for it. They all have the
same reference number, just a different description. I want to combine all
the descriptions into one cell. I am doing vlookup, but it is only putting in
the first occurance. Can I combine all occurances into one?

UDF:

=rechtous(Value;RangeValue;RangeReturn)

Function RechTous(v, champRech As Range, ChampRetour As Range)
a = champRech
temp = ""
For i = 1 To champRech.Count
If a(i, 1) = v Then
temp = temp & ChampRetour(i) & " "
End If
Next i
RechTous = temp
End Function
