    Comparing Cell to Range, is it possible to display all matches found in a single cell?

    For example, if I had:
    Pen $1.00
    Book $8.00
    Tape $2.00
    Pen $1.20

    And I am looking for all matches of Pen, have the cell display:

    $1.00, $1.20

    Let me know if you need any more info, thanks!

    you can do it in VBA but I don't know how to do it with formulae unless the number of lines of data and types of data are quite limited.

    Try this.

    paste the code below into a VBA module. And then use this formula =myFunction( "pen" , H5:I8 ) The H5:I8 will need to be changed to the two column range you have your data in.
