Ok, so I have a table that has a lot of data in it and I have a drop down menu on another tab to select a food item. I am trying to create a formula that will return the entire row if one cell in that row contains that food item in the drop down.

Also it is worth mentioning that there needs to be functionality to return multiple rows as many times the food item will appear in multiple rows and I need to return all rows with that food item somewhere in the row.

Thanks for your assistance/suggestions!

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"

Would you post a 5 row sample?

So for example, if I put the dropdown to "Heating Oil", then I want a formula down below to be able to return rows 1, 2, and 4 of the data as they contain a cell that says Heating Oil.

Thanks

A1, control+shift+enter, not just enter:
Rich (BB code):
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(Sheet1!A2:K5=A2,MATCH(ROW(Sheet1!A2:A5),
   ROW(Sheet1!A2:A5),0)),ROW(Sheet1!A2:A5)-ROW(Sheet1!A2)+1),1))

A2: Heating Oil

which is an entry of interest.

Row 3 houses the relevant headers, including Idx used for row indexing.

A4, control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:
Rich (BB code):
=IF(ROWS($A$2:A2)<=$A$1,SMALL(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(Sheet1!$A$2:$K$5=$A$2,
    MATCH(ROW(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$5),ROW(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$5),0)),
     ROW(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$5)-ROW(Sheet1!$A$2)+1),
      ROW(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$5)-ROW(Sheet1!$A$2)+1),ROWS($A$2:A2)),"")

B4, just enter, copy across, and down:
Rich (BB code):
=IF(N($A4),INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2:$K$5,$A4,MATCH(B$3,Sheet1!$A$1:$K$1,0)),"")

Edit for Post #4:

Not that it does any harm, replace the two

ROWS($A$2:A2)

with

ROWS($A$4:A4)

in the formula in A4.

I just wanted to put in a quick comment to thank both the poster and Aladin because this is exactly the issue I was facing and finding this thread and Aladin's answer worked perfectly for me as well. Thank you.

Now to digest and break down the formulas a bit more to understand them.. lol :)
