Default look up using 2 cells from one sheet to find a value in anothe

If you're retrieving a numeric value from that second sheet and there's only one
row that matches both criteria, you may want to try that =sumproduct() formula
again.

If you're retrieving a text value
or
had multiple rows that matched the criteria, but only wanted the first row's
information brought back

Then =sumproduct() wouldn't work.

From your posts, it sounds like =sumproduct() would work ok--well, it sounds
like it would work ok to me.
