MS Office Forum / Excel / Worksheet Functions / August 2006Vlookup Help
I have a calendar that uses Vlookup functions to look up a persons DOB or other date from a list and displays the persons name if their DOB or other date coincides with the calendar date. I can't figure out how to display more than one person in the same cell (merged cells) if they have the same DOB or other date. I would really appreciate any help. 01/01/2006 08/05/2006 BEN 01/01/2006 08/05/2006 SAM 01/01/2006 08/05/2006 JAMES The function will only display the person that it finds first (BEN). Here is the formula im using =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B5,List1,3,FALSE)=TRUE),IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B5,list2,2,FALSE)=TRUE)," ",VLOOKUP(B5,list2,2,FALSE)),VLOOKUP(B5,List1,3,FALSE))  SignatureWillco Hi Willco, May a Pivot table could help you a lot hth Signatureregards from Brazil Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Note use blue on arrows denoting filtered. To eliminate filtered results, to do a different filter Data, Filter, Show All Disqusted with filtering, don't need to restore the file, simply Data, Filter, uncheck Autofilter --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm > I have a calendar that uses Vlookup functions to look up a persons DOB > or other date from a list and displays the persons name if their DOB or [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B5,List1,3,FALSE)=TRUE),IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B5,list2,2,FALSE)=TRUE)," > ",VLOOKUP(B5,list2,2,FALSE)),VLOOKUP(B5,List1,3,FALSE)) |
