how to return mulitple corresponding values

how to return mulitple corresponding values
Hi Biff,
I've read quite a few of the posts on returning multiple corresponding values but everything is basically over my head. I don't have any training or exp in this stuff. I've tried to replicate the example at: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...0551033#Remove I was able to return only one value for ashish 234. I couldn't get the formula to return 534 or 834.

how to return mulitple corresponding values
OK....
Assume your data is in the range A2:B12. Create these named ranges: InsertNameDefine Name: Acct Refers to: =$A$2:$A$12 Name: Line Refers to: =$B$2:$B$12 List the unique Acct numbers in a range of cells. Assume they're in the range D24. You can do this several ways: type them in manually, use a formula, or use the advanced filter to extract the uniques and copy to a new location. Enter this array formula** in E2: =MIN(IF(Acct=D2,Line)) Copy down to D4 Enter this array formula** in F2: =IF(COLUMNS($E2:F2)=COUNT(1/FREQUENCY(IF(Acct=$D2,Line),Line)),MIN(IF((Acct=$D 2)*(LineE2),Line)),"") Copy down to F4. Select the range F2:F4 and copy across until you get a solid column full of 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. This portion of the formula can be calculation intensive if you have a large amount of data: COUNT(1/FREQUENCY(IF(Acct=$D2,Line),Line)) You can place this as a separate formula in a helper cell and then refer to that cell instead of using it in every formula. That formula returns the count of unique line numbers per acct. This is used as an error trap so that when the formula is copied across and as it "runs out of data" it will return a blank rather than an error. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "jbf" wrote in message ...

Hi Biff, I've read quite a few of the posts on returning multiple corresponding values but everything is basically over my head. I don't have any training or exp in this stuff. I've tried to replicate the example at: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...0551033#Remove I was able to return only one value for ashish 234. I couldn't get the formula to return 534 or 834. Here's the formula I have. =INDEX($A$1:$B$7,SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$7=A10,ROW($A$1:$ A$7)),ROW(1:1)),2) Even if I get this right, I'm not sure if it is what I need. I have a data set where one value can have multiple corresponding values. It's not a 1:1 relationship. I want all values returned but only the distinct values. Here's an example of the data. Acct Line 1010 12 1010 12 1010 12 1010 12 1010 12 1010 5 1010 7 1010 5 1020 22 1020 13 1030 10 This is what I want the result to look like. 1010 12 5 7 1020 22 13 1030 10 Can you help, please?

Hello,
Another approach: Select a range of 6 rows and 2 columns and array-enter: =Pfreq(A1:A11,B1:B11) Pfreq you can find he http://www.sulprobil.com/html/pfreq.html Regards, Bernd |

how to return mulitple corresponding values
Hi Biff,
I am following this thread and use your example. My formula is: {=INDEX(Customer,SMALL(IF(Revenue*$C$3Criteria,RO W(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS(Customer)))),ROW(A1)))} I got what I want, but now I face a new problem. I want those values whose status is not 'under negotiation'. I tried {=INDEX(Customer,SMALL(IF((Status"under negotiation")*(Revenue*$C$3Criteria),ROW(INDIRECT ("1:"&ROWS(Customer)))),ROW(A1)))} But was return #N/A. Is there anything I can do to rectify this? Thanks "Biff" wrote: You can use dynamic ranges that automatically adjust as the size of your data set changes. See instructions he http://contextures.com/xlNames01.html#Dynamic Then the formula would be something like this: (array entered) =INDEX(Rng2,SMALL(IF(Rng1=$D$1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&R OWS(Rng2)))),ROW(A1))) Biff "gfactor" wrote in message ... Biff, I'm using your formula: =INDEX($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.
