Default VLOOKUP & 2 arguments


kimha

Sometimes it is easier to add a helper column that concatenates the
values in the two columns on which you are conditioning your VLOOKUP.
If you add a column A with the formula =A2&B2 copied down all your
data rows and you have your "lookup conditions" in B10 and C10 you can
use

=VLOOKUP(B10&C10, A2:D10,4,false)

You can have your Pop and your Year-mo as variables in B10 and C10 and
you can hide column A.

Good luck.

PA * * *2007-02 * * * * *158
PA * * *2007-03 * * * * 34
PA * * *2007-04 * * * * *61

So, if Pop = TN and YearMo = 2007-03, return value of 32.

I'm sure there's some sort of way to create embedded IF, AND, and VLOOKUP
statements. *I just haven't been able to figure it out.
