I have table similar to this:

102938 bob

038128 Marc

398401 Tom

298421 Jim

102938 Alex

102938 Junior

209381 Rex

398401 Oby

I want to make sometthing like =sumif(A:A, 102938,B:B) and to get "bobAlexJunior" as result. But this is not working becouse sum works with numbers not strings. If i go with lookup, it works with strings but finds only first line, not all lines.

Do you have an Idea on how to fix this issue?

Thanx
