Hello,

Am new to all this but this is what am trying to do

Sheet 1  - list of retail products

Sheet 2   -another list of Retail products but they have children
(materials) these are figures percentages required for the Retail
Product

Sheet 3 - this is doing a lookup against the Retail product with the
materials required against them =VLOOKUP(A2,BOM!$A$2:$D$36785,2)

Sheet 1 -     Beans on toast

Sheet 2 -     Beans on toast -  Contain beans  40%
        Beans on toast -  Contains Toast  55%
        Beans on toast -  Contains butter 5%

Sheet 3 -      Retail Product         ING1        ING2        ING3

But if I know there is a second child to the parent it will still show
the first material.
How do I get the vlookup to look and the next material for the retail
product and repeat this process in the next column as there could be
up to 10 items without duplicating the any of the other materials for
that Retail Product

I know this is probably simple but am stuck

Here's a link to a Microsoft Access application for BOMs.  You may find doing
this in a database is much more manageable than in a spreadsheet.

There are also plenty of discussions on the SQL Server newsgroups about bill
of materials

If you're set on using Excel, you can use a combination of COUNTIF (to count
how many children there are per item) , MATCH, and OFFSET to populate your
lists.  If you have some more specifics on cell references of ranges where
your data is located I could give yuo a specific example.

in worksheet BOM A1 holds the parent code A2 holds the child
in ORDERS sheet a1 holds the parent code i require a vlookup  in c1 e1
g1 i1 k1 etc...but each vlookup knows not to display a child code if
its displayed in the previous cells
