Hi Andrew

I would use a helper column, say column D, with a formula of
=A1&" "&B1
Copy down as required
With the Name to be looked up entered in G1 as Jones Jeff, then
=INDEX(C:C,MATCH(G1,D:D,0))
will return your result

I have a list of employees, Col A = Surname, Col B = Christian name, and
Col
C = Employee number. On another sheet i have the same names but in a
different order (actually departments), to which i need to add the correct
employee number. VLOOKUP works but returns the first match only. When i
have two identical surnames, how do i then check the Christian names, to
get
the correct employee number?
example:
A B C
Jones Jane 123
Jones Jeff 124
