select value in table based on values entered in multiple cell
Hi Dave,
It took a while to get your suggestion to work, but it works fine.
First of all, I modified the table to suit the proposed match formula and I
change all the (,) in the formula and replaced by (;).
Thanks a lot, I had spent quite a few hours trying to figure this out.
Cheers

Saved from a previous post:
If you want exact matches for just two columns (and return a value from a
third), you could use:
=index(othersheet!$c$1:$c$100,
match(1,(a2=othersheet!$a$1:$a$100)
*(b2=othersheet!$b$1:$b$100),0))
(all in one cell)
This is an array formula. Hit ctrl-shift-enter instead of enter. If you do it
correctly, excel will wrap curly brackets {} around your formula. (don't type
them yourself.)
Adjust the range to match--but you can only use the whole column in xl2007.
This returns the value in othersheet column C when column A and B (of
othersheet) match A2 and B2 of the sheet with the formula.
And you can add more conditions by just adding more stuff to that product
portion of the formula:
=index(othersheet!$d$1:$d$100,
match(1,(a2=othersheet!$a$1:$a$100)
*(b2=othersheet!$b$1:$b$100)
*(c2=othersheet!$c$1:$c$100),0))

I'm trying to find a formula that will verify the value in many cells within
a row and select a value in a table based on the values entered for those
cells within the row.
in one column, I indicate if the piece of wood in 4/4 or 5/4 in another
column, I indicate the type of wood and finally in another column, I indicate
the quality of wood.
Based on these 3 criterias, I would like to find the appropriate price
(within a table created on a separate tab) based on these criterias.
I'm a bit new to the usage of formulas and can't find the appropriate
formula to use
