    in all honesty the best advice would be to use Pivot Tables and have the appropriate field (first name, last name etc) as a Report Filter field on each PT and the remaining fileds as Report Labels... else you're looking at potentially array formulae or helpers... a PT is designed for this purpose.

    Display Results Formula Help Please

    I have a phone book list and on another sheet i would like to search it. i am using a vlookup but this only displays the first result found. Can anyone tell me a formula to display all the results. EG. if i search by company name, then i want all entries to be displayed based on that company.
