    Lookup on 1 criteria but returning multiple results

    Hi,
    Advance apologies if this has been solved elsewhere as I may not have searched for the correct wording.

    I am looking for a way to do a look up on 1 column that may have duplicate entries and return all results for a match (not just the first one).


    I.e. based on below example, I need to find a way to lookup on column A (the fruit) and return all of the matches for this look up from column B (the colours):

    Banana Blue
    Apple Blue
    Banana Red
    Pear Yellow
    Banana Yellow

    So I am looking to return in 3 separate fields:
    Banana Blue Red Yellow

    Hope this is clear.

    Many thanks in advance!

    Hi swingding

    See the attached file, using the INDEX function. Is this the result that you are after!
