I'm trying to write of formula to that will allow me lookup a customer property and tell me their invoices outstanding from another excel tab. I have been using a vlookup, but it only comes up with the first occurrence. Below is an example. So on another tab I would enter ABC ST and the formula would pull all the invoices for ABC ST. Thanks.

COLUMN A COLUMN B COLUMN C
customer pro invoice # Amount
ABC ST 1234 5000
ABC ST 5678 60000
CBDG 91878 7000
PEFGR 87890 8000
GJERS 7856 9000

So what result(s) are you looking for?

This:

Book1
AB
1CustomerInvoice #
2ABC ST1234
3_5678
Sheet1

Or this:

Book1
ABC
1CustomerInvoice #Amount
2ABC ST12345000
3_567860000
Sheet1

Or something else?

See if this helps:

Enter this formula in B2. This will return the count of records for the customer entered in cell A2.

=COUNTIF(Sheet1!A:A,A2)

Enter this array formula** in C2. This will extract the records for the customer entered in cell A2.

=IF(ROWS(C$2:C2)>$B$2,"",INDEX(Sheet1!B:B,SMALL(IF(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$6=$A$2,ROW(Sheet1!A$2:A$6)),ROWS(C$2:C2))))

** array formulas need to be entered using the key
combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER).
Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key
then hit ENTER.

Copy across to D2 then down until you get blanks.

If your data is sorted or grouped together by customer then we can use a somewhat less complicated formula.

Thanks. When do you enter control, shift, enter? After you type in formula?
Yes.

Array formulas are entered differently than a regular formula. After you type in a regular formula you hit the ENTER key. With an array formula you *must* use a combination of keys. Those keys are the CTRL key, the SHIFT key and the ENTER key. That is, hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT key then hit the ENTER key.

When done properly Excel will enclose the formula in squiggly brackets { }. You can't just type these brackets in, you *must* use the key combo to produce them. Also, anytime you edit an array formula it *must* be re-entered as an array using the key combo.
