Hi, I'd really appreciate if you can please help me construct the formula needed to bring multiple results from many rows.
(I know that a regular VLOOKUP will only bring the first result but here it's possible that there will be up to 6 required results).
I received a file "Current", which lists item #'s in ColA and supplier in ColC. I have a Data Base "Parts" which lists all 30,000 parts. The Id# is sorted and listed in ColB and the approved supplier in ColF in the "Parts" file. Now I'd appreciate if you please construct a formula in Columns F thru K of the "current" file which looks up the Id# in ColA and then searches in ColB of the "Parts" file and brings the approved supplier listed in ColF of the "parts" file. Thank you in advance

Array formulas
Entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter. If entered correctly, Excel will surround with curly braces {}.
Note: Do not try and enter the {} manually yourself

Then copy the formula to the right up to the K column and then copy it down.
