    Lookup jobs belonging to a given client

    Dear Forum (here I go again)

    Please find attached workbook, which has 2 worksheets, (a) JobList and (b) JobLkUp.

    So it would be antisapated that JobList would be a long list rather than just the lenght I have shown for just for the example. A given client would be expected to have many project over the years.

    JobLkUp is what I want to try get working as a useful lookup tool. The idea being that the user would select a client from the dropdown in cell C1 of the JobLkUp worksheet, and that the relevant information would automatically populate rows 4 + (however many jobs that particular client has) for columns A:E.

    Would seem the right formula in Column A (contract no), would allow for Columns B:E to be handled with regular VLookup, but I'm stuck on getting contract no.s in A4.

    Any ideas?

    Any insight would be great. Thank you.

    Cidona,

    Attached is a modified version of your sample workbook. In 'JobLkUp' cell A4 is this array formula. An array formula needs to be entered with Ctrl+Shift+Enter and not just Enter. This formula is then copied down to cell A13 (so it can return up to 10 results. Copy down farther if needed).

    Then, in cell B4 is this formula. This is just a standard VLookup() formula and is not an array formula. It is copied over and down for cells B4:E13
