Looking up a reference

[markbanin]

I want to look up a supplier code in column A
and have it return the Address in column C (which occupies 6 rows). When I use VLOOKUP it will only give the corresponding SINGLE row.

Mark,

In column A supplier code
In coloumn B address of supplier code (format width for the whole address
In column C enter =vlookup(d1,range,2) format width to match column B
In D1 enter supplier code

Thanks Brian

But I really need to keep the address on seperate rows.

Column J supplier code
How about separate columns i.e column k street
Column l city
Column m state etc.

Then on another sheet or somehwere on the same sheet just refer to the preceding column

In B1 =vlookup(a1,range,2)
In c1 = vlookup(b1,range,3)
In d1 =vlookup(c1,range,4)

enter supplier code in A1

or PM your email, I'll send a sample spreadsheet

Brian,

On your proposal,

B1 =vlookup(a1,range,2)
c1 = vlookup(b1,range,3)
d1 =vlookup(c1,range,4)

should be:

B1 =vlookup(a1,range,2)
c1 = vlookup(a1,range,3)
d1 =vlookup(a1,range,4)

Try this.

if your lookup value is in A1 in B1
use your ordinary VLOOKUP() for the first line of the address.
on the next row down use something like:

=OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(MATCH(B1,C:C),1)),1,0)

copy down as needed

any good?

Thanks Ian

I've never used any of those functions before. Here goes the F1 key to find out how they work.
