index and match on 2 criteria
Sorry, I had just responded to the previous suggestion when I saw yours come
in. I attempted your suggestion and didn't get the result that I was looking
for, and you are right "Didn't work" is not a helpful responce. At this point
I didn't think that repeating my attempt at a clarification was going to
help. Once again i'm sorry, I guess it's all about timing.

Didn't work is about as unhelpul as it gets in solving your problem and
there's no need to start a 'next posting'. Please explain in detail what
result you got and what you expected to get

Try this array formula
=INDEX(D2:D6,MATCH(1,(A2:A6=G1)*(B2:B6=H1),0))
This is an array formula which must be entered with CTRL+Shift+Enter and NOT
'just enter. If you do it correctly then Excel will put curly brackets around
'the formula{}. You can't type these yourself. If you Edit the ranges
'then you must re-enter as An array

I have a table that i want to extract data from one column based on 2
conditions in other columns. The table has 4 columns, the first and second
are the columns that contain the data that has to meet the conditions, and
the fourth has the data the I want to retrieve. See below.
COMRAT SALREP COMRATDES COMPER1
ALB SL1D ABC Co. 4
AP SLA1 DEF Co. 6
ALB SLWA GHI Co. 2
AJ SL1G JKL Co. 7
ALB SL1H MNO Co. 10
Both the value in column A and the value in column B must match the
corresponding values from another worksheet and then return data from the
forth column. Example of a condition might be Column A=ALB and Column B=SLWA
then return 2.
I'm thinking that an index and match might be the way to go, but i need a
little help getting there.
