[REPOST] Hi, I have a list of names in 1 column, with title, company, etc in a row and each person has multiple emails. Each different email is in a different column. I want to copy each row and align each different email so the email is in the same column with name, title etc repeating.

I understand it's not easy
User 09/04/2018 - 04:47
Do you know a formula that would allow you to lookup a value within a range and then give you a row value that the lookup value was found on, without knowing the row number but the column number? Kinda a reverse vlookup
Excelchat Expert 09/04/2018 - 04:48
yes. last stage

YAY!
