VLOOKUP Return Multiple Values in Excel

VLOOKUP stops at the first match. These methods return them all.

Every match in a list: FILTER

=FILTER(B2:B100,A2:A100=E2,"None")

All orders for the customer in E2, spilled down. See FILTER.

Every match in one cell

=TEXTJOIN(", ",TRUE,FILTER(B2:B100,A2:A100=E2,""))

Several columns for every match

=FILTER(B2:D100,A2:A100=E2)

Only some columns, in your order

=CHOOSECOLS(FILTER(A2:D100,A2:A100=E2),4,2)

Several columns for the first match

=VLOOKUP(E2,A2:D100,{2,3,4},FALSE)

In Microsoft 365 this spills three results across.

Older Excel (no FILTER)

In F2, fill down until errors appear:

=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$100,AGGREGATE(15,6,(ROW($A$2:$A$100)-ROW($A$2)+1)/($A$2:$A$100=$E$2),ROWS(F$2:F2))),"")

AGGREGATE finds the 1st, 2nd, 3rd… matching row number; INDEX returns the value. See INDEX MATCH.

Match on two conditions

=FILTER(C2:C100,(A2:A100=E2)*(B2:B100=F2)) — see multiple criteria.
