    VLookup date range and return multi lines

    Hello everyone,

    Hope this post makes sense and someone out there can help

    I have a large table in the final tab of my excel book. This table contains data such as Company name, contact details, etc but also a date which I must contact them on (this is nothing sinister, just a curtsy call following a job ).

    The problem I am having is that I am running a vlookup on the first tab on a cell referring to todays date. This only brings shows one record which is the first occurrence of this date. This isn't very useful to me

    The problems I need solving are:

    I would like to be able to vlookup a range of dates (i.e. 7 days before or after todays date) - how do it do this?

    I would also like to be able to return multiple results (i.e. if there is more than one company within that date range I would like them to show).


    Can anyone help with this? Maybe Vlookups aren't the way to do this?

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks.

    To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

    If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.

    Doing this will ensure you get the result you need!
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
