Hi Jai:
Vlookup does not allow multiple lookup keys, what you can do is combine the
lookup keys to make unique lookup keys. So in the datatable add a new column
to the left somewhere and do
=month&":"&week where month and week are specific columns.
Then in the vlookup do
=VLOOKUP(c1&":"&D5,Actual_Volumes,2,FALSE).
adjusting for the new column. Be sure to put a seperator in between to make
sure you don't get problems with the keys repeating.
You can also use the sumproduct as in the following:
=sumproduct(--(a!A1:A5=c1),--(a!B1:B5=d5),(a!c1:c5))
if you are sure that you have uniqueness (no repeating items.
the sumproduct is the easiest method although it can be a little slow.

Is it possible to enter multiple criteria in formulas.
e.g. something like this =DGET(Actual_Volumes,"Gate","Month"=C1&"Week"=D5)
or =VLOOKUP("Month"=C1&"Week"=D5,Actual_Volumes,2,FAL SE).
I need to extract data from a table with 2 or more criteria. I know I could
set up range adresses with the criteria but was hoping a simple AND/OR in the
formula line would suffice. Any help much appreciated
