Searching a list of names, with corsponding data across to another worksheet

[Butch-196]

Hi
I have a list of poeple that have use water.

Name - Date - start meter reading - end meter reading etc.

I need to seach the list via the name and then copy the Name - Date etc across to a new worksheet.

Note, - name maybe listed more than once so I need to look at the complete list and import the data for each time the name is entered

is lookup the right function

regards
richard
