    Cant get INDEX, MATCH to return more than one unique value.

    Hi All!

    I have a spread sheet where I type in a part number, and it returns the next part up in the bill of material. I have a formula that will get me the answer, however my problem is that sometimes there will be more than one answer. If one part makes more than one part, I will need the formula to find each unique value, but i cannot seem to get it correct. I have uploaded an example sheet so that you can see what I am talking about.

    Thanks!

    I used some named ranges to make the formula shorter / easier.

    I used this formula in A10 and dragged it down to A11. It must be entered as an array formula with ctrl+shift+enter:

    You're welcome, and good luck. If you get ambitious, search for dynamic named ranges. Those make life really great when your ranges are constantly changing.
