Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
In C2 of Sheet1 (worksheet a) control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:

=TEXTJOIN("; ",TRUE,IF(Sheet2!$A$2:$A$9=$A2,Sheet2!$B$2:$B$9,""))


where Sheet2 = worksheet b.

Is the TEXTJOIN function available on your Excel version?

No, i have 2016 version.

If the native function TEXTJOIN is not available on your system...

In C2 of Sheet1 control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:

=REPLACE(aconcat(IF(Sheet2!$A$2:$A$9=$A2,Sheet2!$B$2:$B$9,"")),1,2,"")

For this formula to work, add the following code for ACONCAT as a Module to your workbook using Alt+F11...

Function aconcat(a As Variant, Optional sep As String = "") As String
' Harlan Grove, Mar 2002
Dim y As Variant
If TypeOf a Is Range Then
For Each y In a.Cells
aconcat = aconcat & y.Value & sep
Next y
ElseIf IsArray(a) Then
For Each y In a
aconcat = aconcat & y & sep
Next y
Else
aconcat = aconcat & a & sep
End If
aconcat = Left(aconcat, Len(aconcat) - Len(sep))
End Function
