Hello,

I am trying to match two criteria in a table and return a list of matching results. As a picture is worth a thousand words I included the table below. I am trying to match the items in the orange box to the items to the left and then get the results in the green box.

I have tried index and match, but I can only get a single item from that and I would like to return all possible matches.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
I couldn't get formulas to do this entirely.

In a Worksheet_Change event use this code:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim i As Integer, c, arr(), rng As Range, Sex As String, AgeGrp As String
Sex = Cells(2, 7).Value
AgeGrp = Cells(3, 7).Value


Set rng = Cells(1, 3).Resize(Cells(1, 3).End(xlDown).Row)
ReDim arr(rng.Rows.Count, 1)
    For Each c In rng
        If c.Value = Sex And c.Offset(0, 1).Value = AgeGrp Then
            arr(i, 0) = c.Offset(0, -2).Value
            i = i + 1
        End If
    Next c
    
Cells(2, 8).Resize(UBound(arr)).Value = arr


End Sub

Then in Cell I2
Code:
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$D$7,MATCH(H2,$A$1:$A$7,0),2),"")
Copy down as far as you need.

Whatever you enter in your orange cells are used as lookup criteria.

Thanks Dan, you are the man!

This looks like it will work, although at my level it seems more like magic.

Hi,

an attempt: in H2 and to be copied down in H3:h7 and to the left in I2:I7

=IFERROR(INDEX(A$2:A$7,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($A$2:$A$7)-1/(($C$2:$C$7=$G$2)*($D$2:$D$7=$G$3)),ROW($A1))),"")

You need to have Excel 2010 or newer version to use aggregate.

Regards

Canapone,

I have looked at a lot of different methods and yours officially qualifies as elegant. I appreciate it!

Thanks!
