    Find a second occurance or third or fourth

    I am trying to find an in-cell formula to find a cell with a specific value and return the value in column A of the same row. Typically this is handled by Lookup or VLookup or HLookup. However, these only find the first occurrence of the value, I even know how to find the last occurrence, but what about in between? In my spreadsheet I have reoccurring values that I need the value in column A of the same row, but I need more than just the first or last but every instance in between. Anybody know how to do this?

    Can you post some sample data and the results you want to see, based on the sample data? If you can attach a workbook, that would be exceptionally helpful.

    Here you go...
    Using your posted workbook, this regular formula begins the list of part numbers:

    Copy that formula down through C11

    Is that something you can work with?
