For starters this cannot be in VBA the intended users are not familiar enough with VBA to maintain the document. That being said im 90% of the way there. I have one cell with 2 or 3 number values between 1 and 35 and another cell returning all the values that are inside that cell. My only problem is that it is treating multiple digit numbers as individual integers. 1 and 32 is returning values for 1, 2, 3 and 32 and all i want is 1 and 32. I honestly think im right on the edge of it but i just cant seem to get my brain there.

My current formula

=TEXTJOIN(", ", TRUE, IF(COUNTIF(C2, "*"&$A$2:$A$35&"*"), $B$2:$B$35, ""))

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Welcome to the Forum!

Here's one way:

D2:D4D2=TEXTJOIN(",",,INDEX(B$2:B$35,FILTERXML("<x><y>"&SUBSTITUTE(C2,",","</y><y>")&"</y></x>","//y")))

You've shown

C2: 1,'32

If quote marks are the only potential superfluous characters (?) you could add a simple SUBSTITUTE within this formula to strip them out.

Thank you. That does appear to get the job done. This is the first i have worked with FilterXML do you happen to know if its compatible with older excel versions and could i use an index, match variation to achieve the same result?

The Filterxml function is available from xl 2013, however Textjoin is only available from xl 2019
