Hi, sorry that my title probably doesn't fit my question correctly, but I didn't know how to describe it.I have a table of document numbers and the other document numbers that are referenced inside:eg document 1 references documents 2, 3 and 4, document 2 references 1 and 3. What I'm looking for is a formula where I put in the document number and it tells me all the documents that it has been referenced in:eg I put in number 3 and it tells me that it was referenced by document 1 and 2.I tried index matching but was getting nowhere.Thanks in advance for the help!

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
Sort by date Sort by votes
Sorry, wasn't sure how to do that! It's for when a document has a change, I need to be able to see how many documents that refer to it are affected. Here is my example table and expected output :) :

Array formula in H6 copied down
=IFERROR(INDEX(A$2:A$11,SMALL(IF(MMULT(--(B$2:F$11=$H$3),{1;1;1;1;1})>0,ROW(A$2:A$11)-ROW(A$2)+1),ROWS(H$6:H6))),"")
confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, not just Enter

Hope this helps

Also, in H6 control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:

=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$11,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(IF($B$2:$F$11=$H$3,$A$2:$A$11)),ROW($A$2:$A$11)-ROW($A$2)+1),ROWS($H$6:H6))),"")
