1. Select a cell and type this formula =INDEX($B$2:$B$9, SMALL(IF($A$11=$A$2:$A$9, ROW($A$2:$A$9)-ROW($A$2)+1), COLUMN(A1))) into to it, and then press Shift + Ctrl + Enter and drag the autofill handle to right to apply this formula until #NUM! appears. See screenshot:

2. Then delete the #NUM!. See screenshot:

Tip: In the above formula, B2:B9 is the column range which you want to return the values in, A2:A9 is the column range that the lookup value is in, A11 is the lookup value, A1 is the first cell of your data range, A2 is the first cell of the column range that you lookup value is in.

This article says this uses VLOOKUP, but it uses INDEX... which does not help me. I need a solution for multiple values using VLOOKUP or XLOOKUP in tables.

For anyone experiencing issues in a big data range, ensure you dont have any cells existent with "#N/A" or it will break it. Simple error but can be overlooked.

Hello, I want to use keyword instead of specific text or value here for multiple return values, can you please share code formula for same.

Hello - This formula worked perfectly - thank you! However, I want to apply it to a long list of lookup values. When I copy and paste the formula it obviously returns the same results as the first lookup value so I removed the $'s from $A$11, but that changes the result to something incorrect. How can I quickly apply this same formula for a long list of lookup values?

Thank you!

Bonjour,

J'ai retransposé mon problème exactement dans les mêmes positions de colonne que l'exemple et j’obtiens le message #VALEUR! dès la première case.

Mon excel fonctionne en francais, j'ai tout retranscrit en francais, passé ";"au lieu de ",", appuyé sur CTRL+MAJ+Entrée... des idées sur l'origine du problème?

Fanny
