    Adding lookup table to existing spreadsheet

    I had fantastic help yesterday in this thread:
    http://www.excelforum.com/excel-gene...of-search.html

    I have attached the current work to this thread.

    I would like to add one more piece to this spreadsheet.

    As an example, at the top of the Ad page is a product called CA-30.
    Right now the sheet will check for CA-30 against the schedule and return dates that we will be making that product again.
    There is the possibility that we can use CA-30 in other products. Possibly in CA-350.

    Is there a way to create ... and I hope the terminology makes sense ... a lookup table to allow one value (in this case CA-30) to check for multiple values (in this case CA-30 and CA-350) on the schedule?

    In other words, have the spreadsheet see the CA-30 on the Ad page. Then look at a table (or other means of cross-reference) to see that CA-30 = CA-30 and CA-350? Then go to the schedule and look for both CA-30 and CA-350 and return dates on the CA-30 line on the Ad page for both CA-30 and CA-350. This will give each line the ability to look for multiple products on the schedule page.

    I hope this makes sense.

    Thanks,
    Anthony

    Ok, as Im sure most of you will soon be able to tell...I dont know what Im doing.
    But, I am trying.

    Revised file attached.

    I added a Key tab at the bottom. Mostly just a mess for me to try to link an index/match to.
    On the Po tab in F3 I put the following:
    =SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(ACONCAT(IF(schedule!$D$3:$D$64=(INDEX($A$3:$H$1000,MATCH($A$3,Key!$A$1:$A$78,0),MATCH(Key!$B$2,Key!$B$2:$B$78,0))),TEXT(schedule!$A$3:$A$64,"d-mmm")," ")))," ",", ")
    Used Ctrl, Shift, Enter and it comes back blank.

    Im not sure how to tell where I am failing (besides skill)

    I was hoping my addition of the index and match would allow this to go to another page, find the match to A3 on the Po page (which should be APNDPT-300) and look for the same row in column B.

    While this still doesnt answer my question from above, I was hoping to build off of this.

    Thanks,
    Anthony
