Hi Don, it's not working. it retrieve data but it doesn't matter if in A1 is
only a letter (k), or in B1 a only a number(9).
Can you make something like this?

=VLOOKUP(A1, sheet1!A1:B251, 3, FALSE);(A1, sheet1!A1:B251, 2, FALSE)

If A1 is empty, the code to look in B1.
The code in A1 to retrieve data from cell 3 and if A1 is empty to look in B1
and to retrieve data from cell 2.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Don, i even searched on google, but i can make it wright.

=if(or(A1=Sheet2!A1:C3,B1=Sheet2!A1:C3,3,)

Ofcourse it give's me an error!

Hi, i need a formula that retrieve data if one of two criteria is
met. I
need
the formula in "C".

If A1 or B1=Sheet2!A1:D25,retrieve content of cell 3

Ex:
Sheet 2:
A B C
John 32 AP
Mary 28 TRP
Jim 38 AP

Sheet 1
A B C
John =AP
28 =TRP
Jim 38 =AP

If one of two criteria is met, or if both criteria is met.
Can this be done?
Thanks!
