    Basically, I need to get all the associated sku's (column F) from the parent_sku (column E) into column G comma delimited.

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    @xladept & @AlKey

    Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately, a simple concatenate wouldn't work as the # of cells above each parent sku vary. I've tried a VLOOKUP but that only returns the first value from the parent_sku. See attached, the green column is how it's supposed the look, the yellow cells are where there needs to be those values.

    Re: Excel - Returning multiple values in a single cell that match criteria

    Then there is another option with VB UDF where you can select a range and not pick individual cells. Are you open for VBA solution?

    Re: Excel - Returning multiple values in a single cell that match criteria

    While I'm very comfortable with excel, I'm very limited with regard to VBA. I feel as though there is function out there utilizing the INDEX/MATCH and VLOOKUP - or even something like a SMALL and then +1 until it goes through all the values associated with the parent sku and adds them to that cell...

    Re: Excel - Returning multiple values in a single cell that match criteria

    Yes, but there is no function will put all values in one cell.

    The vba solution is very easy just follow these simple instructions

    1.Press Alt+F11 on your keaboard. This will open VB Editor.
    2. At the top, click on Insert and click on Moduel
    3. Copy code below and paste it into Module
    4.Close Module and close VB Editor.

    Make sure to save your workbook as Micro-Enabled

    That's all.

    Code

    use formula =UnionCell(A1:A10)

    Take a look at the attached file, it puts everything in one cell separated by a " " (which can be easily edited in the VBA script).

    D7 is where the function is.
