VLookup returns nothing for assigned to requiring multiple answers

Hi All, I am working on a project plan where I have a drop down that I can select multiple roles to assign a task to. The Vlookup references a contact list of single role, single assigned to. When using a simple vlookup formula, it will give a single answer where there is a single assigned to, but what do I do to make it give me multiple assigned to when multiple roles assigned.

Formula using -

=VLOOKUP([Responsible Role]@row , {Key Contacts Range 1}, 2, false)

There is no way to use just a formula alone to output multiple usable contacts in a single cell from a refernce list like this.

Take a look through this thread to see what your various options are:
