Default Match data in 2 columns and return data from 3rd column

Saved from a previous post:

If you want exact matches for just two columns (and return a value from a
third), you could use:

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

(all in 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 only use the whole column in xl2007.

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 know I have done this in the past but can't remember how I did it.

I have my main spreadsheet, customer.xls with zip and weights.

Column A Column B
Zip Wt

I have a second spreadsheet, prices.xls that has zip, weights and
dollar amounts. I can't copy and paste because this spreadsheet is
only for shipments weighing less than 200 lbs.

Column A Column B Column C
Zip Wt $

I need the following, If the zip and weight on the customer.xls is
the same as the zip and wt on the price spreadsheet then return the $
on the customer.xls.

Can anyone help?
