(SOLVED) help with Array to look up multiple match results from column

[clundeen]

I am struggling with coming up with a formula to solve my problem. I have a set of cells in WS 'WK1' (A5:A8) that I want to look in another WS 'Roster' F2:F25' that match exactly what is in WK1 cell A4 and return the result that is in Roster B2:B25

I created names for the cell range
TPLAY1 = B2:B25 which is the rank of a player located in WS 'Roster' and result I am looking to populate in WK1 A5:A8
TSCHED1 = F2:F25 which is the column in WS Roster that I am searching for matches (there should always be 4 matches

I am using the following formula with no luck

{=IFERROR(INDEX(TPLAY1,SMALL(IF(TSCHED1=$A$4,ROW(TPLAY1)-MIN(ROW(TPLAY1)),ROWS($A$5:A5))),"")}


Thanks in advance for any help

=IFERROR(INDEX(Roster!B:B,SMALL(IF(TSCHED1=$A$4,ROW(TSCHED1)),ROWS($A$5:A5))),"")

Array Formulae are a little different from ordinary formulae in that they MUST be confirmed in the FIRST CELL ONLY by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. After that, the array can be dragged down as normal, to cover the desired range.

You will know the array is active when you see curly brackets { } - or "curly braces" for those of you in the USA, or "flower brackets" for those of you in India - appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not use CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will (almost always) get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.

Don't type the curly brackets yourself - it won't work...

Thank you - I know about the CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, but knew something else was wrong - THANK YOU!!!
