Answer 1

An Excel lookup looks like this;

=VLOOKUP(I7;Sheet1!$A$2:$F$250;2;FALSE)

• The first part ( I7 in this case) is the value of the key to find.
• The second part ( Sheet1!$A$2:$F$250 in this case) is the range to search in.
• The third part ( 2 in this case) is the column index of the queried range from which the value should be read.
• The last boolean tells whether or not it is a range lookup (in this case we're after a single value).

Answer 2

With your sample data:

Formula in cell B10 :

=IFERROR(INDEX($A$1:$A$7,SMALL(IF($B$1:$B$7=$A10,ROW($A$1:$A$7),""),COLUMN(A1))),"")

Confirm through Ctrl Shift Enter
