Default how to return mulitple corresponding values

Type the formula then, instead of hitting ENTER like you normally would,
hold down both the CTRL key AND the SHIFT key then hit ENTER. When done
properly Excel will enclose the formula in squihhly braces { }. You can't
just type these braces in, you MUST use the key combination to produce them.

If you're still having problems I'll be glad to look at your file and see if
I can figure it out. Just let me know how to contact you.

I did the key stroke of (CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER) 1ST
Entered the formula

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.

If the fromula:
=INDEX($A2:$H15,SMALL(IF($A$2:$A$15=$A$60,ROW($A$2 :$A$15)),ROW(1:1)),5)

can I change $A$2:$A$15=$A$60 to look up a range?

You can do that, however, since the formula returns possible multiple
results for each lookup value you'd have to use another formula (the same
one, just change =$A$60 to the next cell reference).
