    Look up and return multiple matches

    I want to use a look up function to search my worksheet and find all the data that match a criteria.

    I found this formula on a website [URL="http://www.myonlinetraininghub.com/excel-factor-17-lookup-and-return-multiple-matches"]

    =IFERROR(INDEX($A$5:$B$11,SMALL(IF($A$5:$A$11=$E$4,ROW($A$5:$A$11)-4),ROW(A1)),2),"")

    It's perfect for what I want to do, except the data I want to locate is non-numeric and SMALL will ignore non-numeric data. I don't want to use excel's filter, because I will have several of these formulas (if I ever figure out how to write it) on the same worksheet with multiple ranges across multiple worksheets. Any ideas?

    The SMALL function is not doing what you think it's doing.

    What is the cell address where you want the results to appear?
