Default multiple column lookup?

Depending on your windows settings, that semicolon (;) could be a comma (,).

And the =sumproduct() suggestion will actually add all the values in C2:C1000 if
column A has "corporate marketing" and at the same time, column B = "critical".

That means that C2:C1000 will have to be numeric for these rows.

The other suggestion picks off the first match it finds and only returns that
single value.

Thank you for answering so quickly..it is still not working though...is the
";" correct? I get an error around that ... excel suggests to change it to a
"*"

then when it does change, I get a "Value" error...any help??!

hi Paula,

=sumproduct(--(a2:a1000="Corporate
Marketing")*(b2:b1000="Critical");(C2:C1000))

Here is the data I am working with:

LOB C/N #
Corporate Marketing 2
Corporate Marketing Critical 1
Corporate Marketing Non-Critical 1
Corporate Safety 1
Corporate Safety Critical 3
Corporate Security 1
Corporate Security Critical 1

How do I search for a lookup a "Corporate marketing" and "Critical" to
return the number from column 3?

Thanks!!!!
