[Solved] Search and index - then fill

Post by me231 »

way back - i used arrays to create an indexing for an expense sheet
the attached has a new sheet ( sheet 1) and the sample of the old on
Sheet 2 has a working index array setup .

the purpose
Given - spreadsheet with rows of entries
vendor, date, description, amounts etc

Result
create a column with requested / desired information

example from sheet one
given vendor
list all and associated amounts - or instances




my array formula is just too difficult to amend for each occasion -

is there a quicker easier way?
