Default two way vlookup

Saved from a previous post:

If you want exact matches for just two columns (and return a value from a
third), you could use:

=index(othersheet!$c$1:$c$100,
match(1,(a2=othersheet!$a$1:$a$100)*(b2=othersheet !$b$1:$b$100),0))

(all in one cell)

This is an array formula. Hit ctrl-shift-enter instead of enter. If you do it
correctly, excel will wrap curly brackets {} around your formula. (don't type
them yourself.)

Adjust the range to match--but you can't use the whole column.

This returns the value in othersheet column C when column A and B (of
othersheet) match A2 and B2 of the sheet with the formula.

And you can add more conditions by just adding more stuff to that product
portion of the formula:

=index(othersheet!$d$1:$d$100,
match(1,(a2=othersheet!$a$1:$a$100)
*(b2=othersheet!$b$1:$b$100)
*(c2=othersheet!$c$1:$c$100),0))

hello,
i am trying to get my target with two way lookup and i need get result in
Sheet2 C1

Sheet1 lookup
A-col, a1 = japan B_col, b1 = tokyo C_col, c1 = good
Sheet2 match
A-col, a1 = japan B_col, b1 = tokyo C_col, C1 = good <-- result

now i am using this:
=INDEX(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$2000,MATCH(1,(Sheet2!A1=Shee t1!$A$1:$A$2000)*(Sheet2!N20=Sheet1!$B$1:$B$2000), 3))

Thanks in advance
