    <p>Clarification required. Are you:</p> <p>Wanting to search for multiple values (in column A), return all the corresponding values(in column B) into column F?</p> <p>An example of this is:</p> <p>A, B, D, F<br> 1,loc1,1,loc1<br> 1,loc2,2,loc2<br> 2,loc3, ,loc3<br> 3,loc4, , <br> 3,loc5, , <br> 4,loc6, , <br></p> <p>Showing that if you serach for 1 and 2 (in column D) you get back Loc1, loc2 and loc3 because these are all the locations that match the numbers 1 and 2?</p> <p>If this isnt what u are trying to do then i am confused</p> <p>Macro to achieve this:</p> <pre><code>Sub FindLocations() Dim ValueCell As Range Dim SearchCell As Range Dim ResultCounter As Integer Dim ValueCol, LocCol, SearchCol, ResultCol As Integer ValueCol = 1 'Look for the values in this column' LocCol = 2 'Locations are in this column' SearchCol = 4 'The search values are in this column' ResultCol = 6 'Spit out the results in this column' ResultCounter = 2 For Each ValueCell In Range(Cells(2, ValueCol), Cells(ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count, ValueCol)) For Each SearchCell In Range(Cells(2, SearchCol), Cells(ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count, SearchCol)) If SearchCell.Value = ValueCell.Value Then Cells(ResultCounter, ResultCol).Value = Cells(ValueCell.Row, LocCol).Value ResultCounter = ResultCounter + 1 Exit For End If Next Next End Sub </code></pre> <p>Paste that into your Excel VBA screen (Alt+F11) and run it (or link it to a button) Whenever you want to search click it</p> <p>The results of this look like this: <a href="http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/9310/excelexample.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Excel Example http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/9310/excelexample.jpg</a></p>

    1. COYour first part is correct.... "column A" is my reference on the table and the corresponding values are on (column B) " column F" is my output... "column D" is my request... so the plan is... if I want to get the output for a few numbers I past the numbers on "column D".... it will search and match with column A... when it finds it will grab what ever is on "column B" and paste on "column F" It is same as the lookup formula... I have a number on "column D" it will lookup on "column A"... if is a match will grab the value on "column B" and print on "column F"...

    2. COI reason that lookup does not work for me is because on gives me the first matching value that finds on "column A"...it does not keeo searching for the next matching value... by the way "column D" and "column F" they don't match...."column D" is my input... "column F" is my output.... and of course "column A" and "column B" are part of the table.... Thanks for your time..Cheers JFC

    3. COThe only excel way to do this is VBA. When you want more than one cell to be changed by an operation you need a macro. The macro you are after is a For Each loop on Each Range in Column A. If the cell is the value you are looking for, get the value in column B, paste it into column F, continue. Code pasted below

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
