    Unhappy Lookup same value but return different results

    Hello, I am trying to return values for a column that contains the same name for some. But the look up always returns the first value it finds.

    Re: Lookup same value but return different results

    Welcome to the forum

    Please attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.

    I have included the excel file because I seem to not get the desired result from the formulas above. Thanks everyone

    Re: Lookup same value but return different results

    @ bjnockle

    Sorry for off-topic interjection:

    Although there is no official rule regarding this behavior, we request that wherever possible both the question AND the answer be provided in substantive detail here within the thread. An attached workbook is an excellent aid for posing a question and offering a solution, but solely doing that with no in thread explanation makes it difficult for researchers to understand or consider the Q & A of this thread without downloading what may be a pointless doc to them, if they can do that at all. Doing that also hides the content from search engines so others may never benefit from this.

    I'm sure you understand, and we look forward to seeing you post your formulas/macros in your posts for the searching benefit of all.

    Thanks again for all your hard work here!
    Dave

    Similarly in cell E4:
    Sorts and returns duplicated ages directly rather than row numbers.

    Re: Lookup same value but return different results

    In E4 then copy down

    =IFERROR(INDEX($B$4:$B$8,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($B$4:$B$8)/($A$4:$A$8=$D4),COUNTIF($D$4:$D4,$D4))-ROW($D$3)),"")
