given :

       A        B
1   tree a    10   
2   tree b    20
3   tree b    30
4   axe a     40
5   axe b     50
6   axe c     60

my search string cells are :  c1 : c3

in cell D1  i entered :
=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(A1:A7,"*"&IF(C1:C3<>"",C1:C3,"skip")&"*"))

in cell D2 i entered :
{=IF(ROWS(D$2:D2)<=D$1,INDEX(A$1:A$7;SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(TRANSPOSE(IF(C$1:C$3<>"",C$1:C$3)),A$1:A$7)),ROW(A$1:A$7)),ROWS(D$2:D2))),"")}
and i dragged down...

my problem is : WHAT FORMULA SHOULD I ENTER in cell E2 IN ORDER TO GET THE
CORRESPONDING VALUES of  "tree" and "axe" ???

i tried the following :

i enterd in E1 :SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(D2:D12,"*"))
and i entered in E1:
{=IF(ROWS(E$2:E2)<=E$1,INDEX(B$1:B$7,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(TRANSPOSE(IF($B$1:$B$7<>"",$B$1:$B$7)),B$1:B$7)),ROW(B$1:B$7)),ROWS(E$2:E2))),"")}
and i dragged down

now  if i enter the word  "axe" in cell  C1  i get the following   WRONG  
results

10 for  axe a
20 for  axe b
30 for  axe c

                                          HELP

i managed to reach to this formula :

{=INDEX(B$1:B$7;SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$7=TRANSPOSE(IF($D$2:D2<>"";$D$2:D2));ROW(B$1:B$7));ROWS(B$1:B1)))}

but my problem is now that if i enter "tree" in C1 i get duplicate numbers
like follows :

tree a   10   (good answer)
tree b   20    (good answer)
tree b   20   ----> wrong answer :  IT SHOULD BE 30

                                   ANY SUGGESTIONS ?????

That formula needs to be array entered.

Enter this array formula in D2 and copy across to E2:

=IF(ROWS(D$2:D2)<=$D$1,INDEX(A$1:A$7,SMALL(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(TRANSPOSE(IF($C$1:$C$3<>"",$C$1:$C$3)),$A$1:$A$7)),ROW(A$1:A$7)),ROWS(D$2:D2))),"")

Select both D2 and E2 then copy down as needed.

Well, you've stumped me on that one! There's no way to do that using
formulas.
