how to return mulitple corresponding values

Hi

Your problem lies in the last part of the formula.
The argument for the SMALL() function that Biff proposed was ROW(A1)
which would be 1, but would be stepped up to 2, 3 etc. as you copied
down.

In this posting you are using ROW('PO Detail'!B87) and in your previous
posting ROW('PO Detail'!B87)
Change to ROW(A1) and it should work.

(N.B. It doesn't need to have any sheet reference, as it is not being
used to refer to any particular cell, it is just a method of getting the
smallest, 2nd smallest etc.)

Morning Biff. Thanks for the reply. Getting and error. Here's what
you
recommended:

=INDEX(Rng2,SMALL(IF((Rng1=$Z$1)*(Rng30),ROW(INDI RECT("1:"&ROWS(Rng2)))),ROW(A1)))

this is my exact formula (array entered):

=INDEX('PO Detail'!D$1$500,SMALL(IF(('PO
Detail'!B$1:B$500=$B$3)*('PO
Detail'!K$1:K$5000),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS('PO
Detail'!B$1:B$500)))),ROW('PO
Detail'!B87)))

it looks like we're mutiplying rng3 x corresponding value in rng1.
one of
the issues is rng1 is text. is there a way to just check to see if
rng3 is
greater than "0". i tried, but now luck.

any thoughts?

biff -

you nailed it kid. got the result i was looking for in terms of
being
able
to have a variable length array. here's my next question:

lets assume my formula reads as follows:

=INDEX(Rng2,SMALL(IF(Rng1=$z$1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&R OWS(Rng2)))),ROW(A1)))

...and my data looks like this:

a(rng2) b(rng1) c (rng4)
1 y1 p1 5
2 x1 p2 1
3 y1 p3 0
4 z1 p4 3
5 q1 p5 4

if my $z$1 value is "y1"...the formula returns 2 data sets:

y1 p1
y1 p3

the thing is, i only want the result delivered if the value in
(rng3) is
"0"

can you help me?

thanks in advance.

Biff,

I'm using your formula:

=INDEX($B$1:$B$190,SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$190=$D$1,ROW($ A$1:$A$190)),ROW(A1)))

My question is this: Can the ranges $B$1:$B$190 and A$1:$A$190
be
named
ranges with variable amounts of data? I export data out of our
accounting
and want to use the formula, but the number of data points
changes. It
seems
that the function only works if all the cells between $b$1 and
$b$190
have
data. Am i missing something?

thanks in advance,

however i am still getting results of items for which the value in G$1:G$500

Hi

Biff posted
=INDEX(Rng2,SMALL(IF((Rng1=$z$1)*(Rng30),ROW(INDI RECT("1:"&ROWS(Rng2)))),ROW(A1)))

^^^^^
You posted
=INDEX('PO Detail'!D$1$500,
SMALL(IF(('PO Detail'!B$1:B$500=$B$3)*
('PO Detail'!G$1:G$5000),
ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS('PO Detail'!B$1:B$500)))),ROW(A1)))

You therefore seem to have

=INDEX(Rng2,SMALL(IF((Rng1=$z$1)*(Rng30),ROW(INDI RECT("1:"&ROWS(Rng1)))),ROW(A1)))

^^^^^
This should not affect the result as it is only a way of getting an
array of results corresponding with the size of your table.
It certainly doesn't affect results with the original sample of data you
posted, which works perfectly with Biff's formula using rng1 or rng2
I don't know what your full set of data contains. I presume $B$3 does
contain the value you are looking for.
It should work OK.

Did you use Ctrl+Shift+Enter to make it an array formula when you
amended?
You say you are getting an error, what error is it coming up with?

values?

in the formula, it looks like were mutliplying the rng2
valule by the corresponding value in rng3, however
the rng2 value is not a number. it is in most cases
text. not sure if that is the problem.

No, it's not a problem. It's not actually multiplying numbers. It's
multiplying logical tests that return either TRUE or FALSE. For example:

('PO Detail'!B$1:B$500=$B$3)*('PO Detail'!K$1:K$5000)

This will return an array like this:

(TRUE)*(TRUE)
(TRUE)*(FALSE)
(FALSE)*(TRUE)
(FALSE)*(FALSE)

These logicals are multiplied together and result in an array of 1's or 0's
where 1 evalautes to the value_if_true and 0 evaluates to the
value_if_false. The value_if_true is a number from 1 to 500 that's derived
from this expression:

ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS('PO Detail'!B$1:B$500))

When the value_if_true condition is met then the corresponding numbers from
that expression are then passed to the Small function.

..here is my exact formula (Array entered)
=INDEX('PO Detail'!D$1$500,SMALL(IF(('PO Detail'!B$1:B$500=$B$3)*('PO
Detail'!K$1:K$5000),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS('PO
Detail'!B$1:B$500)))),ROW('PO
Detail'!B18)))

If you're not using dynamic named ranges then I would "dummy down" this
portion:

ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS('PO Detail'!B$1:B$500))

To:

ROW($1:$500)

You don't actually need the sheet name or the cell references but you'll see
where some people use them just for a better understanding.

Looked at some of you responses regarding excel and you seem very
knowledgeable. Have a question involving a lookup.



Scenario

Two Sheets



Sheet one

Has an invoice number on it.





Sheet two

Has a check number that may or may not have paid multiple invoices.

It is listed this way.



Column 1 column 2 column 3
et all

Check number invoice number invoice number







What I would like to do is use a lookup on sheet one that checks sheet two
for the invoice number (separate invoice numbers are located in columns B
through whatever) and returns what check it was paid on (checks located in
the left most column).







Can’t figure out an easy way to do it and was wondering if you had any ideas.

return values.

Post the *EXACT* formula that you tried.

I then want to include this
in a weekly dashboard for the 50+ managers i'm monitoring.
have you got anything else?

Pivot table or filter

news this formula works if the sheet is sorted by the value i'm looking up
and
if
there are no duplicates in the field I want returned. Otherwise i get
either
incorrect values returned or errors..

basically, i have a sheet listing jobs scheduled by managers. I want
to
be
able to look up the manager's name and return a list of all the job's
scheduled and the dates they were scheduled on. I then want to include
this
in a weekly dashboard for the 50+ managers i'm monitoring.

Thanks for the response, but have you got anything else?

Hi!

The basic formula is something like this:

Entered as an array using the key combo of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER:

=INDEX(B$1:B$10,SMALL(IF(A$1:A$10=lookup_value,ROW ($1:$10)),ROW(1:1)))

Then copy down.

Where column A contains the lookup_value and column B contains the
values
to
be returned.

Need more specific details to offer a more robust suggestion.

i want to look up a name that occurs several times in one column of a

occurs

Vlookup returns only one value. How can I get multiple values?

I'm also trying to do this. I need to lookup a value in one column that
returns multiple values in the second column, but I want to list it out with
"^" between the values. I need to do this dynamically for multiple lookup
values.

Can you help me?

I have reoccuring group names in column A and multiple names (i.e tvalko,
debih, biff, etc.) in column B for each group. There can be one name or
unlimited names for a group. I want to identify the name s for each different
group and obtain the list on one line (tvalko^debih^biff) with carats as
delimeters.

There can be...unlimited names for a group.

Well, that's not good! You have to narrow down "unlimited".

There is a free add-in available that has a function that will do this but
the resulting string is *limited* to no more than 255 characters. So, that
means "tvalko^debih^biff" can't be more than 255 chars.

Are you interested in this?

Yes, I'm definitely interested. I know in reality that it can't be unlimited,
but I need at least 10 names appended. I'll also have to figure out how to
move anything over 30 characters to the next line, but first things first.

Can this function handle multiple reoccurring group names (i.e. loop within
a loop)?

group name
marketing mjagger
marketing rthomas
marketing xbono
accounting rcharles
accounting jbrown
hr jmayer
it jjohnson
it bdylan
it jjoplin
it akiedis
it braitt

output:

mjagger^rthomas^xbono
rcharles^jbrown
jmayer
jjohnson^bdylan^jjoplin^akiedis^braitt

The looping seems to be the limitation I'm running into with the index
function or I'm using it incorrectly.
