    Lookup Single value in multiple columns return match

    Ok I have wasted about 6 hours googling this and I cannot find a solution. It seems like it should be simple but I can't get my head around this.

    - Imagine 2 worksheets "Data" and "Form"
    - "Data" has 6 columns of data
    - the cells in all 5 of these column have different values or may be blank. There are no duplicates other than blank cells.
    - I cannot rework the columns in the "Data" they need to remain as is.
    - From the "form" sheet I want to look up a single value

    What I am trying to do is look for a single value in RunID columns 2,3,4,5 on the "Data" sheet and return the match in column 1 Run # to be displayed in the "Form" sheet.
    The RunID entered on the Form is not always the entire value as it appears in the RunID columns on the "Data" sheet.

    I tried a couple array versions of Index Match but those were not getting me what I needed and also the array formula, for some reason, was not staying an array.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Re: Lookup Single value in multiple columns return match

    Please try

    =FILTER(Data!A2:A213,MMULT(-ISNUMBER(FIND(B2,Data!B2:E213)),{1;1;1;1}))

    or
    =INDEX(Data!A1:A213,MAX(ROW(Data!A2:A213)*(ISNUMBER(FIND(B2,Data!B2:E213)))))

    or
    =XLOOKUP("*"&B2&"*",Data!B2:B213&Data!C2:C213&Data!D2:D213&Data!E2:E213,Data!A2:A213,,2)

    Another

    =INDEX(Data!$A$1:$A$213,SUMPRODUCT(--(Data!$B$1:$E$213=Form!B2)*(ROW($A$1:B213))))

    This did not solve my problem, however the post above had some answers that worked. Your formula just lists the entire Run # column from the Data sheet.

    This did not solve my problem, however the post above had some answers that worked. Your formula just provides a result in the first cell then all the cells below are empty/blank.

    This one works now I had to take the $$ off the B2 so I could drag the formula down my list.

    Thank you.

    Re: Lookup Single value in multiple columns return match

    It works in cell A2, but, I cannot drag the formula down to get it to work for the cells below A3, A4, A5, etc ... after the first cell.
