My source data includes File #, Name and Title. There are up to 10 Name/Titles associated with each File#, and the Names are often repeated with a different Title in each File. I need to show all the data by File #. Lookup only picks up one data set per file. Can you help? Thank you!

Thank you both! However, I know very little about VBA or Power Query.
MickG – I received an error message pointing to the first line of the code. How can I fix this?
Sandy666 – Can you point me to a quick tutorial to enter your solution? All I have found are not “quick” and my project is due next week.
Thank you again!
