That's a great formula Dave, but somewhat obtuse ;-)

Big problem with this, is that every posting will require a follow-up
explaining how it works (I'm writing it as we speak ;-))

I like this syntax:

=index(othersheet!$c$1:$c$10,
match(1,(a2=othersheet!$a$1:$a$10)*(b2=othersheet! $b$1:$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.)

Let's say I have the following information in sheet1:
Serial # Asset code Location
1 A =vlookup(???)
2 B
3 C

In sheet2, I have the complete listing where I want to get the data
from:
Serial # Asset code Location
1 A XYZ
2 B ABC
3 C DEF

In sheet1, I want to have formula that can retrieve "location" if
serial # = 1 and asset code = A. Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks,
Roni
