How to vlookup and concatenate multiple corresponding values in Excel?
As we all known, the Vlookup function in Excel can help us to lookup a value and return the corresponding data in another column, but in general, it can only get the first relative value if there are multiple matching data. In this article, I will talk about how to vlookup and concatenate multiple corresponding values in only one cell or a vertical list.

Vlookup and return multiple matching values vertically with formula
Supposing, I have the following range of data, to get all the corresponding values based on a specific value vertically as following screenshot shown, you can apply an array formula.
1. Enter this formula: =IF(COUNTIF($A$1:$A$16,$D$2)>=ROWS($1:1),INDEX($B$1:$B$16,SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$16=$D$2,ROW($1:$16)),ROW(1:1))),"") into a blank cell where you want to put the result, for example, E2, and then press Ctrl + Shift + Enter keys together to get the relative value base on a specific criterion, see screenshot:
Note: In the above formula:
A1:A16 is the column range which contains the specific value you want to look for;
D2 indicates the specific value you want to vlookup;
B1:B16 is the column range that you want to return the corresponding data from;
$1:$16 indicates the rows reference within the range.
2. Then select cell E2, and drag the fill handle down to the cells until you get blank cells, and all matching values are listed into the column as following screenshot shown:
Vlookup and concatenate multiple matching values in a cell with User Defined Function
Instead of getting the relative values vertically, sometimes, you want to the matching values into one cell and concatenate them with a specific separator. In this case, the following User Defined Function may do you a favor.
1. Hold down the ALT + F11 keys to open the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.
2. Click Insert > Module, and paste the following code in the Module Window.
VBA code: Vlookup and concatenate multiple matching values in a cell
Function CusVlookup(lookupval, lookuprange As Range, indexcol As Long)
'updateby Extendoffice
Dim x As Range
Dim result As String
result = ""
For Each x In lookuprange
If x = lookupval Then
result = result & " " & x.Offset(0, indexcol - 1)
End If
Next x
CusVlookup = result
End Function
3. Then save and close this code, go back to the worksheet, and enter this formula: =cusvlookup(D2,A1:B16,2) into a blank cell where you want to put the result, and press Enter key, all corresponding values based on a specific data have been returned into one cell with space separator, see screenshot:
Note: In the above formula: D2 indicates the cell values that you want to look up, A1: B16 is the data range that you want to fetch the data, the number 2 is the column number that the matching value is to be returned from, you can change theses references to your need.
