This is probably a very simple request, but I am stumped. Hopefully someone can lend a hand.

On a main data sheet, I have a populated row of data (header). Below the header, I have certain cells populated with data. I want to do a look up on a separate sheet and match the 'header' and return the populated data below it. Is this possible?

Ex:
AAABBBCCCDDDEEEFFF
BlueSilkBlack
HotStinkyColdWarm

<tbody>
</tbody>

Results I am looking for:
AAA = Blue
BBB = Hot
CCC = Silk, Stinky
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Results I am looking for:
AAA = Blue
BBB = Hot
CCC = Silk, Stinky
Should those blue results be in a single cell or two cells?
If two cells would those two cells be across a row or above/below each other in a column?

Those blue results should be in separate cells. Preferably a column. One below the other.
OK, see if this works for you.
