    Searching for non specific text and returning multiple values

    I was wondering if it was possible to search for some text in an array and then return all the values in another column where that text appears.

    A sample workbook has been attached

    Thanks in advance

    Do you know how to use UDFs?

    If you feel really indebted please consider a donation to charity. My preferred charity is ActionAid but there are plenty of worthy alternatives.

    No, sorry, I have never seen those before. Is there not a way to use an index and match function and instead of matching the exact wording you can match part of the text in the cell i.e. =A1&"*" or something like that?

    Yes, but it would be so complicated that you'd never be able to edit it if anything changed in your workbook - and it would be slow.
