I need some help on the best way to action this

I have a list of IDs in a single column A in excel, the number of IDs will vary in length over time (tab called ID)

e.g
100
200
300

I need to lookup those IDs against another sheet that contains 100k rows (tab called Lookup)

the lookup result is always in column H which is 5 columns away from the lookup row the lookup start is Column D

the challenge is the original ID will have multiple results

i.e.
ID Result
100 A
100 B
100 C
200 G
300 H

and I need all the results in one column, next to original ID as above called output A

then I need to take all those result references and lookup against another sheet in excel (Stock)

the result lookup will be in column A in that sheet

but this time I dont want to see the reference result if it doesnt appear on stock sheet via the lookup
and if it does appear on sheet only if the data in column H= FALSE
and finally I want a date check on column C where date = today but the date is formatted as so "2021-03-19T06:00:19.196Z" so it needs to check the first 10 characters

and want to call this output B

A Geoff 2021-03-19 True True Yes True 1 80

A being the original result - and the entire row of data that appeared on stock tab - that satisfied those conditions

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
You could share your book in the cloud. Just a sample of data.

__***__
You could upload a copy of your file to a free site such www.dropbox.com or google drive. Once you do that, mark it for 'Sharing' and you will be given a link to the file that you can post here. If the workbook contains confidential information, you could replace it with generic data.
__***__

Identify the results you want in the book with yellow color. Explain on each sheet the search you want.

Or better yet. Use XL2BB tool to put the examples in the post

In fact your example with SKU 100006 in column G you have False, for it to work it must be True, correct?

thanks Dante

the code fails on sh4.Range("A2").Resize(j, 9).Value = e

outputting to the output sheet
