Lookup to return multiple matching values

[olssonj]

Hi!

I have one workbook with two sheets. Sheet one is used to define where our
consultants are booked every day through the fiscal year. The sheet includes
one table called "data" (Excel 2007) with following columns:
"ConsultantName", "Date" and "CustomerName". In the second sheet I have every
days date in column A and then each consultants' name in A2, A3, etc. also in
a 2007-table called "Gantt".

The problem:
As the user adds data in the data sheet I want the CustomerName to end up on
the right date (row) and the right consultant (column) in the Gantt-sheet.
The thing is that Lookup and Index and Match and everything I have tried only
returns the first match not all matches, i.e. the same date:

ConsultantName: Kristina
Date: 090615
CustomerName: Lehman

and

ConsultantName: Linda
Date: 090615
CustomerName: HiQ

only return the data that matches the first hit, which is Lehman...

How can I make the function return all matches...? What am I missing here

Thanks!

Hi again!

My bad... The names of the consultants are of course in B1, C1, D1, etc. in
the sheet called Gantt...

Thanks again!

Hi,

I am writing in Swedish so I hope my translation is ok.

I am using following function:
=IF(ISTEXT(IF(INDEX(Data;MATCH(Gantt[[#This
row];[Date]];Data[Date];0);6)=Gantt[[#Headline];["ConsultantName"]];INDEX(Data;MATCH(Gantt[[#This
row];[Date]];Data[Date];0);5);""));IF(INDEX(Data;MATCH(Gantt[[#This
row];[Date]];Data[Datum];0);6)=Gantt[[#Headline];["ConsultantName"]];INDEX(Data;MATCH(Gantt[[#This row];[Date]];Data[Date];0);5);"---");"---")

The last "---" is to be able to sumarize how many days each consultant is
booked (365 days minus number of "---"). "ConsultantName" is of course
changed for each column in the Gantt table for each consultant...

I hope this is enough for u and that u can follow my translation... Please
let me know if u need any additionial information. Thank you very mutch!

Hi

My function is written in Swedish so I hope my translation is ok.

Function:
=IF(ISTEXT(IF(INDEX(Data;MATCH(Gantt[[#This
row];[Date]];Data[Date];0);6)=Gantt[[#Headline];["ConsultantName"]];INDEX(Data;MATCH(Gantt[[#This
row];[Date]];Data[Date];0);5);""));IF(INDEX(Data;MATCH(Gantt[[#This
row];[Date]];Data[Date];0);6)=Gantt[[#Headline];["ConsultantName"]];INDEX(Data;MATCH(Gantt[[#This row];[Date]];Data[Date];0);5);"---");"---")

ConsultantName is of course changed for each column to the actual name of
the consultant.
(The "ISTEXT"-part makes it possible to sumarize how many days each
consultant is booked over the year...)

I hope u follow.Please let me know if u need any additional information.
Thank you!
