Unfortunately it does not work for me =myvlookup(E6,$A$2:$C$15,2) as the result is #NAME?
How to vlookup to return multiple values in one cell in Excel?
Normally, in Excel, when you use the VLOOKUP function, if there are multiple values to match the criteria, you just can get the first one. But, sometimes, you want to return all the corresponding values which meet the criteria into one cell as following screenshot shown, how could you solve it?

Vlookup to return multiple values in one cell with User Defined Function
The traditional VLOOKUP function may not help you to solve this problem, but, I will create a User Defined Function for you to deal with this task. Please do as follows:
1. Activate your worksheet which you want to vlookup multiple values into one cell.
2. Hold down the ALT + F11 keys, and it opens the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.
3. Click Insert > Module, and paste the following code in the Module Window.
VBA code: Vlookup to return multiple values in one cell
Function MYVLOOKUP(pValue As String, pWorkRng As Range, pIndex As Long)
'Update 20150310
Dim rng As Range
Dim xResult As String
xResult = ""
For Each rng In pWorkRng
If rng = pValue Then
xResult = xResult & " " & rng.Offset(0, pIndex - 1)
End If
Next
MYVLOOKUP = xResult
End Function
4. Then save and close this code, go back to the worksheet, and enter this formula: =myvlookup(E6,$A$2:$C$15,2) into a specific blank cell where you want to place the result, then press Enter key to get all the corresponding values in one cell that you want, see screenshot:
Note:
In the above formula: E6 is the value which you want to return its relative information, A2:C15 is the data range you use, the number 2 indicates the column number that your matched value is returned.

· 3 months agoThank you. I just modified so that it will replace the comma at the start and replace the last comma with "And".
(Working with states)
Function MYVLOOKUP(pValue As String, pWorkRng As Range, pIndex As Long)
Dim rng As Range
Dim xResult, States As String
Dim Pos As Long
xResult = ""
For Each rng In pWorkRng
If rng = pValue Then
xResult = xResult & ", " & rng.Offset(0, pIndex - 1)
End If
Next
States = Right(xResult, Len(xResult) - 2)
Pos = InStrRev(States, ",")
If Pos > 1 Then
States = Mid(States, 1, Pos - 1) & Replace(States, ",", " AND", Pos)
End If
MYVLOOKUP = States
End Function -

But need to know can it be modified to check 2 criteria & does anyone found anyway to make wildcards work on it.
Any help? -

· 2 years agoNo matter what I do, I always get #value! returned instead of a result. vlookup works just fine, so the data works. Already followed the process of enabling macros. I even combined everything into a single sheet. Any ideas??

· 2 years agoThis worked perfectly, but it did take me some time to get the Function work properly within my 20 tab, 50k+ line spreadsheet.
Now the BIG question is how to take that delimited string and then use each entry as an Index/Match (not married to Index/Match, but it seems faster) lookup value in another dataset, returning the SUM value of all returns into one cell. My scenario is that I have a Single Order that has multiple invoices. Your MYVLOOKUP Function works superbly to report back all of the invoices in one cell. What I want to do now is to take each concatenated return with the reported cell, spin through that array and total the amounts of payment of each invoice back into the formula cell.
I appreciate any help that you can offer on this and thanks for the MYVLOOKUP Function! -

· 2 years agoTo get unique record, you may use below: (modified by refer other user code)
Function MYVLOOKUP(pValue As String, pWorkRng As Range, pIndex As Long)
'Update 20150310
'Updated 6/9/16 Jay Coltrain
'Dim rng As Range
Dim xResult As String
xResult = ""
Dim Rows As Long, i As Long
Rows = pWorkRng.Rows.Count
For i = 1 To Rows
If pWorkRng.Cells(i, 1).Value = pValue Then
xResult = xResult & "," & pWorkRng.Cells(i, 1).Offset(0, pIndex - 1)
End If
Next i
Dim varSection As Variant
Dim sTemp As String
Dim sDelimiter As String
sDelimiter = ","
For Each varSection In Split(xResult, sDelimiter)
If InStr(1, sDelimiter & sTemp & sDelimiter, sDelimiter & varSection & sDelimiter, vbTextCompare) = 0 Then
sTemp = sTemp & sDelimiter & varSection
End If
Next varSection
MYVLOOKUP = Mid(sTemp, Len(sDelimiter) + 1)
End Function -

· 3 years agoHeads-up. I figured out how to get any separator in that output. Its rudimentary. But I figured it out.
xResult = xResult & "///" & rng.Offset(0, pIndex - 1)
The last and most wished for thing though is enabling it to work with wildcards in the search criteria. Thank you again for this beautiful and brilliant solution. Extremely helpful. Now just want to get get the macro to run and be installed in my excel perminantly no matter what I'm doing so I can use it when I need to.
And wildcards!
Thank you so much.
Wildcards are all that are left to do. -

· 3 years agoHi,
It works well. What I would like to do is adapt the code to seperate thee value results with "///" or any other marker (for technical reasons, I don't want just a single character seperator).
Also, I noticed that this formula doesnt work with a wild card. I know i am asking too much, but it doesnt as vlookup can work when i search for =myvlookup("*"&E6&"*",$A$2:$C$15,2) which it would do/could do.
Any assistance? -

· 3 years agoThis is exactly what I was looking for and did not think of just making my own UDF. However it will not function exactly like VLOOKUP. If the string you are looking for is not only in the first column then it could give you data outside the original range passed.
Name Number Other name Column not in range passed
Jay 1 Jay 1
Jay 2 Jay 2
Chris 3 Chris 3
Jorge 4 Jorge 4
Jay 5 Jay 5
Jorge 6 Jorge 6
If the above table were cells A1:D7 if you passed only A1:C7 your "MYVLOOKUP" function returns 1 1 2 2 5 5 when you would expect it to return 1 2 5.
The changes below fix the issue:
Function MYVLOOKUP(pValue As String, pWorkRng As Range, pIndex As Long)
'Update 20150310
'Updated 6/9/16 Jay Coltrain
'Dim rng As Range
Dim xResult As String
xResult = ""
Dim Rows As Long, i As Long
Rows = pWorkRng.Rows.Count
For i = 1 To Rows
If pWorkRng.Cells(i, 1).Value = pValue Then
xResult = xResult & " " & pWorkRng.Cells(i, 1).Offset(0, pIndex - 1)
End If
Next i
'For Each rng In pWorkRng
' If rng = pValue Then
' xResult = xResult & " " & rng.Offset(0, pIndex - 1)
' End If
'Next
MYVLOOKUP = xResult
End Function -

· 3 years agoThank you for the VBA-code. I got exactly what I want!
I modified only the code " rng.Offset(0, pIndex - 1) " to " rng.Offset(0, pIndex - 2) " . So is MYVLOOKUP able to search from Right to Left. -

· 3 years agoHi,
i am really impressed with the work and its so easy to create one to use this function. however i need further support.
My ? is that how can i select a number from a cell with multiple cell in my vlookup array. i.e.
If cell A1 = 100, A2 = 350, A3 = 69
C1 = 100; 1222; 12133
C2 = 69; 222
D1 = Apple
D2 = banana
So how can select 100 from my table array column C to derive correspondent D1 = apple
Please note that i have 7 digit numbers in my lookup value and table array which is separated by a ";". I would really appreciate if you can solve this and help me in saving a lot time. -
