    Incorporating SMALL into a INDEX and MATCH Formula

    Hi there,

    I'm trying to create dynamic drop-down lists and would maybe? like to use the 'SMALL' formula to return multiple results (in the event there are multiple items in a list that could return different results).

    Currently I am using =INDEX(INDIRECT(H4),MATCH(U4,INDIRECT(G4),0)). I have created tables and named ranges that the indirect formula refers to. However, I have instances where the same name is used more than once, but the matched adjacent cell may have a different Value. I am using this formula as a data validation tool with a drop down as a 'list', I would like all values (May, August, and September to populate in the drop down if 'HOME' was selected as the primary reference. (see below table for an example).

    Example:
    Table 1:

    Location Month

    HOME MAY
    WORK JUNE
    MALL JULY
    HOME AUGUST
    HOME SEPTEMBER

    Please help and let me know if further clarification would be helpful.

    Thank you for the reply. This is a very interesting formula, I will definitely use it in the future. Thank you!

    Unfortunately, I am looking for a formula that will essentially do exactly what you've done here but in a list format. I don't have the space to populate multiple cells and would need something that could auto-populate a drop down list dynamically, the user would then pick the appropriate matched value (May, August, or September) in this example.

    Thank you,
    Travis.

    Hello Scola16 and Welcome to Excel Forum.
    Perhaps this will be of help.
    Take the cell populated by Jose's formula and move them to an out of the way location, say XFD3:XFD6
    Apply data validation to cell E3 using: =OFFSET(XFD$3,0,0,XFD$1,1)
    Note that the cell XFD1 contains the count of non-blank values in the range XFD3:XFD6
    Let us know if you have any questions.
