Hello,

I have one column of data.

What I'like to return is below. I'm not sure how to combine vlookup and hlookup or if even these are the formulas to use.

Any help is appreciated.

Desired result
Lookup1Virtual-abc
Lookup2Virtual-678
Lookup3Virtual-lpo

Sample data below where row1 etc are, will contain text and or numeric values. The value I wish to return will always start with the word Virtual.

Sample data in Column A

Lookup1
Row1
Row2
Row3
Row4
Row5
Row6
Row7
Row8
Virtual-abc
Lookup2

Row2
Row3
Row4

Row7
Virtual-678
Row7
Lookup3
Row1
Row2
Virtual-lpo
Row4
Row5
Row6
Row7
Row8
Row9
Row10
Row11
 

Excel Facts

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.
See if something like this would suit you.
I have assumed that the left column of the results may not always start with "Lookup" but whatever follows a blank row. If it does always start with "Lookup" then you could also use this in C2, copied down

Excel Formula:
=IFERROR(INDEX(A:A,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW(A$2:A$40)/(LEFT(A$2:A$40,6)="Lookup"),ROWS(C$2:C2))),"")
