This works fine for me

=INDEX(C1:C100,MATCH(1,(B1:B100="LEBANON")*(A1:A10 0="D51238K-QS USE XJ
Version 13458"),0))

although I do notice that all the machines are unique

I attached below the data, I am sorry it is not tidy enough but the first
column is the machine model, then you can see the country and then the
price.

I completely understand how your data is laid out and the formula I gave
you
should do what you want.

Show me the exact formula that you used. an example of the data would
help
too.

It gave me an error which is #NUM though I checked it many times. The
point
is that in the countries list, the country is repeated many times, and
in
the
machine model column, the machine is repeated many times, you need to
create
a lookup function which will search for the machine and then when it
founds
the machine search in another column for the country and then when
both
the
machine and the country matches your search criteria you need to get
the
price from another column, which means basically that you have a two
columns
lookup procedure.

Guys,

It is not working, see I can pass you the files if possible just
tell
me
how
as I am new to this whole thing. The point is that I have many
machines
for
one country and I have many countries, to give you an idea, I have
seven
coutries and for each country and I have more than three hundred
machines
prices. The system given me a dupm showing in one column the
country
name
and
in another column the machine name and then the price. I need a
function
that
checks the country in one column and in the other columnn it
checks
the
machine, if both are OK then it should give me the price which is
in
another
column.

Regards,
Farah

Probably it's easier to understand a bit faster version...


=INDEX(C1:C100,MATCH(1,IF(A1:A100="country",IF(B1: B100="machine",1)),0))

which still needs to be confirmed with control+shift+enter.

Bob,
I'm getting closer and closer to understanding this stuff, but
in
this
example there is one small piece I haven't got yet,

Your Match() has 3 elements:
1) the 1,
2) the combination of the ranges (Col A and ColB as one
parameter)
3) the 0, which is an exact match)

So 1 (in this case) is the lookup value, hummmm.. not sure
I'm
getting the
meaning here - I take 1 to be the value I'm looking for,
confused

Tks in Advance,
Jim

=INDEX(C1:C100,MATCH(1,(A1:A100="country")*(B1:B10 0="machine"),0))

which is an array formula, it should be committed with
Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not
just Enter.

I have a master price list were I have in column A the
country
name,
and
in
column B the machine model number and in column C the price.
Obviously you can find the same machine for many countries
with
different
prices, I need a formula were I can extract for a certain
country
the
price
of a certain machine.
