hello,
can someone please tell me how i can display the 2 values chosen by using vlookup, currently i have it so that if you put an X in column at the footer it shows the values listed under column B and C,. But if more then one x is placed in column A then only the first value is shown, what i want to do it show both.. can that be done?

Place an XIDName1Johnx3Bob4Kris6Steph5Mikechosen values3Bobthe vlookup formulas are
=VLOOKUP("x", A2:C6, 2, FALSE)
=VLOOKUP("x", A2:C6, 3, FALSE)

What i am having issues with is if i put an X under both ID, 3 and 4 it should show Chosen Values: 3,4 Bob, Kris

thanks, Summer
 
Vlookup will always pickup the first value that it finds, cant do what you are describing....
You could do something with dynamic ranges perhaps
Or some VBA
Or a simple filter might help you

Sorry
 
First of all thank you for your quick response. Can you tell me a little bit more on what you mean by dynamic ranges and simple filter?
 
Can you post a sample workbook, showing your setup and what you require?

It's not easy to tell with your sample in first post.
 
all set i resolved the issue, u're right though VLOOKUP only takes the first value. I took another route where i concatentated the text and then posted that value. all set. thanks again!
