Hi All,

I have a data in one sheet in the workbook that in column A, it keeps track of individuals names, in B, the dates that they came into work, and in C, which shift they worked (work is divided in 3 shifts M, A, or E). I want to create another sheet, where one person's name can be typed, and I output the dates and shifts they work in. I've put in this code in a module on a test set of data (only columns A and B):

VBA Code:
Function MultiLookup(Lookup_value As Range, Lookup_range, return_range, delimiter)
    
    lrow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
    Count = 1
    For Each cell In Lookup_range
        If cell.Row() > lrow Then Exit For
        
        If cell = Lookup_value Then
            addval = return_range(Count)
            If MultiLookup = "" Then
                MultiLookup = addval
            Else
                MultiLookup = MultiLookup & delimiter & addval
            End If
        End If
        Count = Count + 1
    Next cell
    
End Function

And in a cell I input this code:
Excel Formula:
=MultiLOOKUP(A1,A:A,B:B,",")

This does work, but it returns all the values with a comma in them in one cell. I ideally want multiple cells for each entry.

Any advice or reccomendations?
