I like this syntax:

=index(othersheet!d1:d10,
match(1,(a2=othersheet!a1:a10)*(b2=othersheet!b1:b 10),0))

(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.)

Dear All,

How would I write a vlookup type statement that checks against two values,
rather than one. For example I want the formula to check a list for rows that
have the same values as Column A and B, then take the value from column 3 in
the vlookup range. Although the formula below does not work it might make it
a little clearer.

=VLOOKUP(A2 AND B2,OtherSheet!A1:G10,4,FALSE)

Thanks,
Trip
