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.) -- Regards Roger Govier "gfactor" wrote in message ... 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$500)))),ROW('PO Detail'!B87))) it looks like we're mutiplying rng3 x corresponding value in rng1. one of the issues is rng1 is text. is there a way to just check to see if rng3 is greater than "0". i tried, but now luck. any thoughts? g "Biff" wrote: i only want the result delivered if the value in (rng3) is "0" Try this: (array entered) =INDEX(Rng2,SMALL(IF((Rng1=$z$1)*(Rng30),ROW(INDI RECT("1:"&ROWS(Rng2)))),ROW(A1))) Biff "gfactor" wrote in message ... biff - you nailed it kid. got the result i was looking for in terms of being able to have a variable length array. here's my next question: lets assume my formula reads as follows: =INDEX(Rng2,SMALL(IF(Rng1=$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. g "Biff" wrote: You can use dynamic ranges that automatically adjust as the size of your data set changes.

how to return mulitple corresponding values
thanks for the input roger. the b87 ref was due to the fact that i was
copying the formula from the 87th row in my list. however it did set it back to a1 and i'm showing below the formula from the 1st row in my range. however i am still getting results of items for which the value in G$1:G$500 corresponding to rng2 is 0. =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))) thanks in advance for any help. g "Roger Govier" wrote: Hi Your problem lies in the last part of the formula.

how to return mulitple corresponding values
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? -- Regards Roger Govier "gfactor" wrote in message ... thanks for the input roger. the b87 ref was due to the fact that i was copying the formula from the 87th row in my list. however it did set it back to a1 and i'm showing below the formula from the 1st row in my range. however i am still getting results of items for which the value in G$1:G$500 corresponding to rng2 is 0. =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))) thanks in advance for any help. g "Roger Govier" wrote: Hi Your problem lies in the last part of the formula.

how to return mulitple corresponding 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.

how to return mulitple corresponding values
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. Regards, jb "Biff" wrote: You can use dynamic ranges that automatically adjust as the size of your data set changes.

You need to be more specific and provide some details.

how to return mulitple corresponding values
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. "T.

how to return mulitple corresponding values
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? -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Melanie" wrote in message ...

how to return mulitple corresponding values
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.
