Vlookup with multiple results

[M.A.Tyler]

The data is on Sheet h! A2N2009, however I'm only conserned with two
columns, C & F. Would like to "lookup" all instances of 1 or 2 or 3....(and
so on) from Sheet h!C2:C2009, and populate Sheet1!A1:A25 with the data from
the coresponding rows from Sheet h! Column F. (There will never be more than
25 results) There is room for a drop down on Sheet1! A1 that would allow for
the selection of the lookup value (between 1 & 15).

Looking for suggestions!

Thanks,

M.A.Tyler

The topic of looking up more than a single instance is well-covered in:

Thanks very much for the guidence, very helpful. Although I don't understand
the Index portion. If you recall I need to index column F, but the example
shown indexes the entire array? For my purposes, that would be Sheet h!
C2:F2009? Would it be possible to explain the index portion? Perhaps
including the "2" at the end?

Thanks for your trouble!

Would like to "lookup" all instances of 1 or 2 or 3

Is your date sorted or grouped together so that all the 1s, 2s, 3s etc are
in a contiguous range or are they in random locations?

Grouped...Random
1...............2
1...............1
1...............2
2...............3
2...............3
3...............1
3...............3
3...............1

There will never be more than 25 results

But there may be less?

Yes and yes
contiguous & could be less.

Try this....

rng1 refers to Sheet h C2:C2009
rng2 refers to Sheet h F2:F2009

The sheet where you want this data extracted to:

A1 = lookup value (could be a drop down list)

Enter this formula in A2 and copy down 25 rows to A26:

=IF(ROWS(A$2:A2)<=COUNTIF(rng1,A$1),INDEX(rng2,MATCH(A$1,rng1,0)+ROWS(A$2:A2)-1),"")
