One one sheet I have a large list of doctors, and against each doctor I have listed their secretary. Some of the doctors share the same secretary too.

On a separate sheet, if I choose the secretary, I want to be able to return which doctor(s) that secretary works for.

I got this working perfectly in Excel 365 using the FILTER function:

Excel Formula:
=FILTER('Consultant Data'!BB9:BB423,'Consultant Data'!N9:N423=Y11,"None")

"Consultant Data" is the sheet containing the list of consultants. Column BB on that sheet is the consultant's full name, and column N is the name of the secretary entered against that consultant. Cell Y11 is the lookup field on my other sheet - this is the name of the secretary I want to return the list of the consultants they are linked to.

I didn't realise FILTER wasn't available for Excel 2010, which is the version most of our users use, and so this won't work for most people.

From searching I realise I probably need some combination of INDEX and maybe AGGREGATE to replace this functionality in Excel 2010. Can anyone advise how to format this please, as I cannot work it out? The filter can return multiple results, as each secretary could look after up to ten consultants. Any assistance would be very gratefully received.

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
If the formula is in Z11 try
Excel Formula:
=IFERROR(INDEX('Consultant Data'!BB:BB,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW('Consultant Data'!$BB$9:$BB$423)/('Consultant Data'!$N$9:$N$423=$Y$11),ROWS(Z$11:Z11))),"None")

That's perfect, thank you so much!
