Vlookup only taking first line of data

[Guest]

Hello all, this is my first time of using this - so, hopefully someone can
help.

I am looking to do the following:

I have a part number - for instance 12345

I have a number of open purchase orders for that part - which are all listed
on a rather large file with a number of other open purchase orders.

What I want to do is take all the open purchase orders for that particular
part and 'pull' them into another file. I would do this by looking up the
part number and pulling each induvidual line item of information into another
worksheet.

Vlookup only takes the first value it gets to - how can I make it take the
1st, 2nd, 3rd lines of information?

Thanks for your help.

Use Data>Filter>AutoFilter or Advanced Filter

How will filter work, when the information is in one sheet and I want t
pull it into another?

I am doing this for 100+ parts, with 700+ purchase orders.

I want to see each part's purchase orders below the part - withou
having to copy and paste each block of data from the source sheet int
induvidual part sheets

Assign a name to your purchase orders data (say: "orders")

Then you can use it (as =orders) in the source range of an advanced filter

Criteria range must specify data label ("order_no") in first row, and
desired value (say 1234) in second row

Tick "Copy to another destination"

Destination range must include desired column headers

Ardus - thanks for your help, however that isn't working. Either I am
doing something wrong or I've not explained it correctly.

What I am attempting is:

Sheet 1

Cell A1 = part number 12345

Sheet 2

Column A = various part numbers (several hundred)
Column B = PO number
Column C = PO quantity
Column D = PO due date
Column E = PO required date
Column F = PO actions
Column G = Supplier name

What I want to do is take the PO’s on sheet 2 that belong to part
number 12345 and bring them into sheet 1 in a table that looks at the
part number and pulls all the data that appears in columns B to G for
that part.

Some parts will have one PO – others could have dozens.

Does your idea still work? Or is there another solution?

(also just a note - I am doing this on a spreadsheet with 100+ tabs, 1
per part number and several hundred PO's. Therefore you can see why I
am attempting this)

Cheers.

In order to be able to use Data>Filter, you need to have column headers
above your data

Sheet1:
-----------
A1 = "part_no"
A2 = 12345

Sheet2:
-----------
A1 = "part_no"
A2 thru A999: your part numbers

B1 = "PO_no"
B2 thru B999: your PO no's

etc...

if you mean what I think you mean you just repeat your vlookup actoss your
sheet increasing the column numbers upward as you go actoss until you fill
alll coluns as required
