Hi, rajesh nag,

have a look at the download Multilookup from Erlandsendata (If you look up numbers/text from lists/databases that contains several duplicate values, you will have use for this function. If the value you are looking for occurs more than once, the function displays a dialogbox that lets you select which value you want the function to return.).

Ciao,
Holger

If this is your data is columns A and C:
Smith apple
Jones banana
Adams coconut
Smith date
Jones eggplant
Jones fennel

And the user enters "Smith" in D2, you want a form to appear, letting the user choose between "apple" "date" and "fennel".

This UDF might help you. In E2, put =LookupMultiMatch(D2,A:A,C:C,TRUE,FALSE).
The searchTerm, searchRange, and resultRange are required arguments.
The optional boolean arguments MultiSelect and EmptyStringNotAccepted default to False.

The routine calls a userform with 1 list box, 1 label and 1 command button.
