Hi,
is there a way to do a vlookup between 2 different lists where the "multiple" hits are returned - rather than only the first one?
(we were using the vlookup, but it only gives us the "first" reference that it looks up)
What we'd like is for the 1st instance to be put in Col B, the second instance in Col C, the 3rd in Col D etc
Just to add to the complications(!), we are trying to do this using a partial lookup eg =vlookup("*"&A1&"*",table array,col_index_sum,FALSE)
EG
[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500, align: center"]
