    Help needed on array formula

    TIA for the help !

    Per my example attached, my intention is to key in the item "Milk" (G12) and the "Ship" (G15 to G20) to look for the result of "Container Number" (H15 to H20)....

    my formula only working to the first (H15) and second row (H16)... and the desired outcome i wish to be is like the array of I15:I20...

    I tried a lot modification to the formula but cant find the core problem.... probably the main problem is on the Column & Row... hopefully someone here can spot the easy correction...

    Why no container 3 for Ship A in your expected outcome?

    On the assumption that the above was a typo, see if this gives the correct output.

    Note that these are both array formulas, so must be entered and confirmed as per the instructions below, otherwise they will not work.

    In G15, fill down until blank
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    In H15, fill down until blank
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    ...confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer.

    Sorry, Ali. That was my bad!

    I was going to raise the point of thread title with my reply, but by the time I finished typing, the old goldfish memory syndrome came into effect.
    With new members, I try to take a softer approach to rather than blocking the thread with the stock admin request canned reply.

    Not to worry, Jason. Thanks for responding. I had rather hoped that the OP might at least acknowledge my request, but (s)he hasn't.
