VLOOKUP Return Multiple Values Horizontally

---

Assuming that you have a list of data that contain product name and product sales in the range A1:B6, and you want to vlookup a product “excel”” and return all sales value of the “excel” horizontally.

We have talked that the VLOOKUP function can be used to return only a corresponding value of the first occurrence of a lookup value. And if you want to return multiple values horizontally, how to achieve it.

You can create a complex array formula based on the INDEX function, the SMALL function, the IF function, the ROW function and the COLUMN function.

=INDEX($B$2:$B$6, SMALL(IF(A$2:$A$9="excel", ROW($A$2:$A$6)-ROW($A$2)+1), COLUMN(A1)))

Type this formula into a blank cell and then press Ctrl+Alt+Enter shortcuts to change this formula as array formula. And then drag the AutoFill handle from Cell C1 to E1.

You will see that the multiple values have been extracted into the same row.
