Default How do I match 2 items in excel to return a unique value?

With data arranged as below and the query product code and Ware house in
cells D1 and D2 respectively try the below array formula..

Col A Col B Col C
P.Code WHouse Price
10001 A 12.5
10001 B 13.5
10002 A 15
10002 B 16
10003 A 8
10003 B 9

An array formula can perform multiple calculations and then return either a
single result or multiple results. You create array formulas in the same way
that you create other formulas, except you press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to enter
the formula. If successful in 'Formula Bar' you can notice the curly braces
at both ends like "{=<formula}"

=INDEX($C$2:$C$9,MATCH(1,($A$2:$A$9=D2)*($B$2:$B$9 =D3),0))

If you are looking for a VBA solution try the below

Sub Macro()
Dim varPCode As Variant
Dim varWHouse As Variant

varPCode = 10001
varWHouse = "B"

MsgBox Evaluate("INDEX($C$3:$C$10,MATCH(1," & _
"($A$3:$A$10=" & varPCode & ")*($B$3:$B$10=""" & varWHouse & """),0))")

End Sub
