How can I lookup when match has more than one value?

If the functions in the freely downloadable file at http://home.pacbell.net/beban are available to your workbook you might want to consider the VLookups function. It is designed for this purpose.

How can I lookup when match has more than one value?
Hi I have a huge list of data that has items and each item has different
specifications. For example: 36134008 R AA Z34116-1 36153004 R AA Z33021-1 34377007 P AA Z28031-1 34377007 P ZZ 5313312 34377007 P ZZ 4758766 36321027 P AA Z00000-1 36321027 P AA Z30918-1 36416003 P AA X32118-1 36421026 P ZZ 2394200 What I want to do is use a vlookup(34377007,$A$1:$B$8,4,FALSE) The output that this vlookup will give me would be "Z28031-1" but in some cases I want the information of the second row"5313312" or maybe the third"4758766". I have seen that there is explanations, and formulas that give you all the info like this: 34377007 Z28031-1 5313312 4758766 But for the purpose of what i am doing I do not need all the values I just need one of them. for example: Same vlookup, but I want the formula to give me the info from the second row when it found the first value that match the vlookup I do not know if exist a formula that makes this vlookup(34377007,$A$1:$B$8,4(row2),FALSE) =“5313312” 36134008 R AA Z34116-1 36153004 R AA Z33021-1 34377007 P AA Z28031-1 34377007 P ZZ 5313312 34377007 P ZZ 4758766 36321027 P AA Z00000-1 36321027 P AA Z30918-1 36416003 P AA X32118-1 36421026 P ZZ 2394200 Same vlookup, but I want the formula to give me the info from the third row when it found the first value that match the vlookup. Vlookup (34377007, $A$1:$B$8, 4(row3),FALSE) =“4758766” 36134008 R AA Z34116-1 36153004 R AA Z33021-1 34377007 P AA Z28031-1 34377007 P ZZ 5313312 34377007 P ZZ 4758766 36321027 P AA Z00000-1 36321027 P AA Z30918-1 36416003 P AA X32118-1 36421026 P ZZ 2394200 |

How can I lookup when match has more than one value?
I have also tried to use this article, but I am getting "#NUM" error values
using the "SMALL" mixed with the "ROW" functions. I am following the example verbatim, and I do not think this should be that difficult. This article attempts to do EXACTLY what I am looking for. Does anyone know of where the actual example can be downloaded as some of the formulas are truncated?

How can I lookup when match has more than one value?
Hi,
I have a Question.. if VLOOKUP plus IF possible? This is my fomula.. =VLOOKUP(IF((Data!A1:A1000=A1)*(Data!B1:B1000=D1), .... Can you help me with this.. THank you. "David Hilberg" wrote: =IF( CountIf(a1:a10,"Joe")1, CountIf(a1:a10,"Joe"), LookUp(..etc...) ) will give you the count if there are more or fewer than one. Otherwise, it performs the lookup. - David On Jul 23, 9:12 pm, bonot1 wrote: I am using LOOKUP functions to retrieve info from a list. Some of the lookup values have more than one match in the list.

How can I lookup when match has more than one value?
Hi,
I have a Question.. is VLOOKUP plus IF possible? This is my fomula.. =VLOOKUP(IF((Data!A1:A1000=A1)*(Data!B1:B1000=D1), .... is my logical tests or conditions correct? and how will i put the VLOOKUP codes? Can you help me with this.. THank you so much "T. Valko" wrote: Well, then all you need to do is test for the presence of those 2 values that correspond to "efg". I have a feeling that your sample data is "fake" so any formula I suggest might not work on your real data since the formula is based on your explanation. Anyhow, try this: =IF(COUNTIF(A$2:A$20,"efg"),IF(AND(COUNTIF(B$2:B$2 0,567),COUNTIF(B$2:B$20,789)),INDEX({567,789},ROWS ($1:1)),IF(ROWS($1:1)=1,VLOOKUP("efg",A$2:B$20,2,0 ),"")),"") Copy to a total of 2 cells. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "bonot1" wrote in message ... Thanks. I am working with your suggestion, but I am not sure if I expressed my problem clearly. Using your example, in A2:A20 there would be say three different values "abc", "cde", and "efg". When I lookup in B2:B20, there is a "123" for every "abc", a "345" for every "cde"; VLOOKUP works fine for these. However, rows with "efg" in column A sometimes have "789" in column B and sometimes have "567". What I need is to 1) be made aware that "efg" has two different matches in column B, and 2) know what the values of those two matches are. This is what I would like to automate. "T. Valko" wrote: Here's one way: Assume data in A2:B20. You want to extract data from column B that corresponds to a lookup_value. D2 = lookup_value Array entered** : =IF(ROWS($1:1)=COUNTIF(A$2:A$20,D$2),INDEX(B$2:B$ 20,SMALL(IF(A$2:A$20=D$2,ROW(B$2:B$20)-MIN(ROW(B$2:B$20))+1),ROWS($1:1))),"") Copy down until you get blanks. ** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "bonot1" wrote in message ...

Where is the data you want returned?
What is the data type of the value to be returned? Is it text? Numeric? When there are multiple lookup_values you would typically use an array formula** like this: =INDEX(Data!C1:C10,MATCH(1,(Data!A1:A10=A1)*(Data! B1:B10=D1),0)) ** 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. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Hijosdelongi" wrote in message ... Hi, I have a Question.. if VLOOKUP plus IF possible?

How can I lookup when match has more than one value?
Actually the data that i want to be returned is both numeric and text thats
why i had IF function.. in a typical VLOOKUP formula is should be like this.. =VLOOKUP(B1,Data!A1:A1000,2,FALSE) but since i only want to have the data that is equivalent to the date and the name on the database thats why im to use this formula.. =VLOOKUP(IF((Data!A1:A1000=A1)*(Data!B1:B1000=D1), .... that is also why im having problems in how to formulate the conditions in the IF function and how to get the data using the VLOOKUP. I hope you can help me. Thank you so much. "T. Valko" wrote: Where is the data you want returned? What is the data type of the value to be returned? Is it text? Numeric?
