V-lookups, lists
I am trying to create a search engine using V-lookup and lists however only one record (the first in the table array)is pulled against the list criteria when I want all records with the criteria to be visible.
Many thanks
Jack
RE: V-lookups, lists
Hi Jack
Thanks for getting in touch. A VLOOKUP by design only returns one result. To create more responses you'll have to create it as an array formula, which can be painful to maintain.
If this is the kind of thing you need, a PivotTable might be a better option. If you add a Slicer to this PivotTable you will get a interactive list you can select to show those matching items.
To add a Slicer to your PivotTable, on the PivotTable menu click Insert Slicer. Then select the items you want to filter by.
Kind regards
