Default Is this an Index/Match formula?

Paul,

A point to note if you use multiple columns in the range being tested in
SUMPRODUCT, don't use the double unary form
(--(rng1=condition2),--(-rng2=condition2)), use the multiplication operator.

Just a quick note

Bob's method is the better of the two, Offset is a volitile function and
can
bog down large sheets with calculations.

I did not even think to use SUMPRODUCT with a condition across two
columns.
I use conditional SUMPRODUCT all the time, but my conditions are limited
to
individual columns. A very useful trick to remember. I can go home now,
I
learned something today.

Try this

=IF(SUMPRODUCT((Sheet1!$A$2:$A$20=A2)*(Sheet1!$B$2 :$C$20=B2)),"Qualifying",
IF(SUMPRODUCT((Sheet1!$A$2:$A$20=A2)*(Sheet1!$D$2: $E$20=B2)),"Non-qualifying",""))

Hello -

I have 2 tabs of data.
The first tab has info by product and its qualifying vendors and
non-qualifying vendors (the vendors are in seperate columns)
ColumnA ColumnB ColumnsC ColumnD ColumnE
Product X Vendor1 Vendor2 Vendor3 Vendor4

Column A will always be unique
Columns B and C are qualifying vendors and Column D and E are
non-qualifying.

In the second tab I have the following:
ColumnA ColumnB
Product Vendor

What formula do I use to tell me if the vendor is Qualifying (Q) or
Non-Qualifying (N) or blank if the vendor is not included in the
list.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance.
