    Question Index/Match cross search and extract

    hi guys i need a little help, ill try and explain my situation as best i can

    sheet 2
    column C is list of chemicals (to give context)
    column A is a list of the publication numbers they apear in
    column B is GOING to be the list of publication titles they are in

    sheet 3
    column A is a complete list of every publication number in our library
    column B is the corresponding publication title

    what i would like to do is extract the title from sheet 3 and input it into column B sheet 2 corresponding to whatever pub number is listed in column A of sheet 2

    the code i have so far is in column b sheet 2 "=INDEX(Sheet3!B:B,MATCH(A2,Sheet3!A:A,0))"

    now the problem i have is this works perfectly when only one pub is listed in a cell in column A sheet 2 but when there is more than one pub listed (ie "pub number" next line in cell "another pub number") it gives a N/A result.

    is there anyway to call up multiple pub titles from the multiple pub numbers within one cell

    cheers for all your help
