ThisworksuntilIdragtheformuladowntoincludeadditionalresultsandMaster!B2becomesMaster!B3.Atthatpoint,IgetaNumbererror.

HiOscar,
I'mtryingtouseyourvbaVlookuptool,andamhavingissueswherebylookupcolumnsarebackwardsfromyours(switchthepriceandpencolumnsaround),
andIwanttofindallofthematchesfromthefirstcolumn,notthesecondone.WhenIusetheformula,itjustreturnsablank.ItworksfineifIswitchthe
columns,butthisisnotideal.
Here'sanexample:
AB

BBBGrpA
CCCGrpB
DDDGrpA
EEEGrpC
Ithencreateanothercolumnelsewhere,with"GrpA"asaheader,theninthesecondrowofthatcolumn,myfunctionlookslikethis:
{=vbaVlookup(C1,$A$2:$B$15,1)}
Ifiguredthelastparameter(1)wastolookatthefirstcolumninsteadofthesecond.
Ifyoucouldprovidesomehelptogetthisworking,thatwouldbesuperb.Thanks!

=INDEX($A$2:$C$7,SMALL(IF($B$9=$A$2:$A$7,ROW($A$2:$A$7)MIN(ROW($A$2:$A$7))+1,""),ROW(A1))
becomes
=INDEX($A$2:$C$7,SMALL(IF($B$9=$A$2:$A$7,MATCH(ROW($A$2:$A$7),ROW($A$2:$A$7)),""),ROW(A1))
Infact,youcanuse:ROW($1:$7)
