Just tried it and it doesn't work although its now returning 0 rather than
#NUM - would it something to do with the lookup data being text ?

You don't need the curly brackets.

I would love some help with the following statement. {=if(and(b2='DBP -
09'!D:D,C2='DBP - 09'!E:E),'DBP - 09'!K:K,0)}. I've previously used excel
97 and am now using excel2000, so not sure if something has changed from that
version to this. The formula returns a #Num error. I've tried every
combination and can't get it to work. The sheet called 'DBP-09' contains
names and salary details. I'm looking up the person's first and last name
and returning the salary value for that person (obviously,where there's a
match found). Help greatly appreciated!!
