    How to select multiple data points from one entry

    Hi,

    I have a large amount of data, all which contains duplicate information from different area/sites.

    I am looking to have a function where I can input a number (from attached, lets say 165750000 in Column A) and get it to provide me every place this occurs, and the information contained in column E

    Example of what I am looking for -

    If I enter 165750000 into the spreadsheet (don't care where), I would want a table that would pull information from column E, everytime there is a match (line 10, 62, 136, 280) and display it separately.


    The aim of this is, I have multiple unconfirmed sites, however I only have some information for each site (site is column E). By entering multiple numbers from column A, it should eventually spit me out a smaller number of sites that are easier to compare. Rather hard to explain, but I hope it makes sense.

    I've attached a demo workbook. The original is 700 lines.

    Re: How to select multiple data points from one entry

    Thanks! That seems to be doing what I want.

    Is it possible to make it more technical? I'm looking up multiple values at the same time, can I enter them all and then have it return a result on the ones entered?

    I've re-added my demo book with a bit more of what I'm trying to achieve. I'm basically trying to narrow down the results and then basing the rest of my site info off of geographics

    See demo book update, its impossible for 165450000 to be Guthalungra as it doesn't have the same sequence, so that leaves me with 3 other sites

    Try
    =SORTBY(FILTER(E1:E999,ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1:A999,I1:I14,))),MATCH(FILTER(A1:A999,ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1:A999,I1:I14,))),I1:I14,))

    or with item no.
    =SORTBY(FILTER(CHOOSE({1,2},A1:A999,E1:E999),ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1:A999,I1:I14,))),MATCH(FILTER(A1:A999,ISNUMBER(MATCH(A1:A999,I1:I14,))),I1:I14,))
