XLOOKUP Formula Help needed in Excel
Help needed please... I need to search for a name (i.e. Joe Smith) in columns V & X on one spreadsheet (see below) and have the CK NO on this spreadsheet be applied to another worksheet called Co...

Join the lookup columns and make the XLOOKUP run a wildcard match.
For example (A1 being "Joe Smith")
=XLOOKUP("*"&A1&"*",Sheet1!$V$2:$V$5&Sheet1!$X$2:$X$5,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$5,,2)

Hello Patrick2788, Thank you so much! It worked on the first line, but I want to be able to pull all the data for "Joe Smith" to bring in all his commissions. So on the 2nd row, the same formula is used, thinking it would search for the next commission on the whole sheet, but it didn't. I am trying to have it look at a long list and bring in this one persons commissions made for that month.

Patrick2788 Good Morning, Here is the sheet. You will see that the tab called "For Commission Receipts" is the one with all the data and I wanted to start off by having all commissions belonging to Morgan Pratt appear on his sheet "MPratt_Feb", and follow with the rest of the team with their own spreadsheet.

Here's the formula:
=FILTER(Receipts,Names=$A$1,"")Receipts and Names are dynamic named items I've created. Also, you'll want to enter Stigman's full name in A1 of that sheet. There's no Stigman records yet but that will insure FILTER pulls them when available.
