Default Can a VLOOKUP use two items to search

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

I am trying to look up from a table -

Column 1 Column 2
H 1
H 2
Y 1
Y 2

I want to show in column 3 if Col 1 is H and Column 2 is 1 the Col 3 would
be £10
If Col 1 is H and col 2 is 2 then it would be £15?

I have a table with all the values for each one in?

Can anyone help?
