    Vlookups array function by Alan Beban

    I had down loaded the array functions by Alan Beban. Have them installed as
    addins.
    When I run the function I get only one line.
    Also it will not allow wild cards to be used or to CONCATENATE cells for the
    lookup valve.

    ID Counts ac {=VLOOKUPs(D1,A2:B14,2)}
    ab 845
    ac 424
    ad 249
    ac 231
    af 121
    ag 87
    ac 85
    ai 81
    aj 72
    ak 63
    al 60
    am 53
    an 51

    All I get is the first line.

    Then once I get this to give mupt lines on my test screen. I will transfer
    it to my "data inut" screen where the CONCATENATE comes into play using a
    wild card along with it. And the lookup range is on a different sheet which
    is updated via another source.

    For array functions follow these steps:
    1) select as many cells as are returned (needed) by the function
    2) type the function
    3) do not use a simple Enter (or green check mark on Formula Bar) but
    complete formula with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER
    best wishes

    For some reason I have this post twice but thats ok. It helped thanks for the
    basic vlookups but still only works with exact data. can't use wild cards or
    the concatenate function
