Default VLOOKUP needing to match two cells

Hi Bob,

You have been very helpful. Here is my syntax and it's not working.

=INDEX(Header!D:D,MATCH(A2&"1",Header!A2:A700&Head er!B2:B700,0))

Can you help some more?

If that 24 is in column D and the sheet name is "Sheet1", for example, and if
the date 5/5 is in cell C2 of the Summary sheet, (lots of assumptions!) then
this formula in the Summary sheet would work:
=INDEX(Sheet1!D:D,MATCH(C2&"1",Sheet1!A1:A100&Shee t1!B1:B100,0))
This formula needs to be ctrl/shift/entered, not simply entered.
the C2&"1" is because C2 contains 5/5/2006 and the "1" is the shift.

I have a worksheet with data. I need to match the date and the shift and
return the value to a summary page.

Sample data:
Date Shift AvailMin Oper_BreaksOper_StickerMach
2/9/2009 2 480 60 0
5/5/2006 2 480 0 0
5/5/2006 1 480 24 14

So, I need to lookup Date and Shift and return to the cell the available
minutes.

Sheet sample of where data goes to:

5/9/2006
DAILY

Operational
Shift 1 Shift 2
Breaks (value of 24 would go here)
Sticker Machine
Breakdown Infeed
Breakdown Hoist
Infeed Lug Loader
Infeed Moisture Meter
Infeed Tipple
Infeed Table
