Vlookup to get multiple occurances

[Dodger2]

I currently have an Excel sheet in Excel 2007 that needs a summary report. I would normally do a simple VLOOKUP from column A. However, I need to find various occurances of the same string and do a lookup of it. Is there a way of getting the first and second occurance of a text string and getting a lookup into colmns B, C etc. Is there a way of combining the VLOOKUP with an offset to get the result as a VLOOKUP will only find the first occurance...thanks

You can use Match to give you the row in which the first occurance happens, and then OFFSET or INDEX to start your second lookup from that point.

My apologies for not responding earlier....this is exactly what I was looking for - had to spend a few minutes getting to know how to use the Index function and it is one of those that I am sure will be useful in the future.
Again - many thanks for help and the quick response

Try,
