[SOLVED] return multiple rows of data based on criteria

I have two sheets. Sheet1 has multiple lines of data. Based on criteria
chosen in sheet2, I need to display in sheet2 all of the rows of data that
match the criteria. I'm having trouble with multiple criteria (i.e. for
name1, I want all matching rows of data in a certain timeframe. Not all data
in ColA is are same name and will not be in any particular order.

Sheet1
A B C D E F G H I
Bryan D Smith 2/1/06 1 2 2 6 6 1
Bryan D Jones 3/1/06 2 1 3 4 2 1
Bryan D Smith 3/5/06 1 1 1 1 1 1

Sheet 2 would return based on user selecting between dates of 3/1/06 & 3/15/06
Bryan D Jones 3/1/06 2 1 3 4 2 1
Bryan D Smith 3/5/06 1 1 1 1 1 1

I can get it to return all of the items for that match in column A but how
do I for certain dates?

Here is my formula that I'm using to get all rows that match

{=INDEX('data entry'!$C$3:$U$34,SMALL(IF('data
entry'!$C$3:$C$34=$F$5,ROW($1:$32)),ROW(1:1)),3)}

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi!

One way:

Use 2 cells to hold the date criteria:

A1 = 3/1/06
B1 = 3/15/06

Array entered:

=INDEX('data entry'!$A$3:$U$34,SMALL(IF(('data
entry'!$C$3:$C$34>=$A$1)*('data
entry'!$C$3:$C$34<=$B$1),ROW($1:$32)),ROW(1:1)),COLUMNS($A:A))

Copy across then down.

It'll start extracting from column A (name).

Hi

Anoher way:
On Sheet1, add a (hidden) column as leftmost (column A) into your table.
Into this column, enter some formula, which numbers all rows, matching all
your criterias on Sheet2. I.e. with criterias in your example, your table
will look like
Bryan D Smith 2/1/06 1 2 2 6 6 1
1 Bryan D Jones 3/1/06 2 1 3 4 2 1
2 Bryan D Smith 3/5/06 1 1 1 1 1 1

On Sheet2, use VLOOKUP to get matching rows from Sheet1 - i.e. in 1st row of
return table is displayed data from Sheet1 with 1 in column A, in next row
with 2, etc.

Thanks for the help....Should this be entered with Ctr+Shift+Enter?

That worked great. Thx. Couple of more questions. If I were to add an
additional element into the equation, for instance, employee name in between
certain dates, how would the formula look. Also, What does the asterisk in
the formula do?

Hi!

Just add another array:

A1 = 3/1/06
B1 = 3/15/06
C1 = some name

Assuming th names are in column A.

=INDEX('data entry'!$A$3:$U$34,SMALL(IF(('data
entry'!$A$3:$A$34=$C$1)*('data entry'!$C$3:$C$34>=$A$1)*('data
entry'!$C$3:$C$34<=$B$1),ROW($1:$32)),ROW(1:1)),COLUMNS($A:A))

>What does the asterisk in the formula do?

It's the multiplication operator. The (now) 3 arrays are multiplied
together:

(A3:A34=C1)*(C3:C34>=A1)*(C3:C34<=B1)

For a deluxe explanation of how this formula works, see this
