    Question Find all names according to data

    I have a table with names of employees in Column A, the data for each employee is written in columns B, C and D.

    I'd like to be able to type in this data in cells E12-E14 and have Excel bring up all of the names in the table that are associated with this data, and preferably separate them with commas.

    I'm working with Excel 2007, without VBA/Marcros.

    Please see the example file below.
    find_name_example.xlsx

    c12=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B12,employee_table,2,0),"")
    c13=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B13,employee_table,3,0),"")
    c14=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B14,employee_table,4,0),"")

    Re: Find all names according to data

    Thank you for replying folks. I will try to clarify.

    First, I made an error in my explanation. I would like the data to be entered in cells B12-B14, and the names to appear in C12-C14 respectively. For example:

    If the user types in 70000 in B14, C14 should show "Jane, Pinkus" (without the quotes).

    Or

    If the user types in Junior in B13, C13 should show "Julie, Martin, Omar, Roberta" (without the quotes).

    We can use a helper and hidden sheet. We'll create some tables there according your needs, to get the results in the first sheet. Are you interest?
