Working with multiple sheets in a workbook
 

Hi,

I have 2 seperate sheets in my spredsheet that contains different data each,
but both sheets have a comon factor of inv number and line. I want to be on
sheet 1, lookup the info on sheet 2, if the Inv number and line agree, then
select column c from sheet 2, and insert it into sheet 1.

Example:

Sheet 1:

Culumn A - Invoice No.
Column B - Line No.
Column c - Customer

Sheet 2:
Column A - Inv No.
Column B - Line No.
Column C - Dimension

So if both column A&B match for both sheets, then take column C from sheet
2, and insert it in column D on Sheet 1.

Can this be done.

I tried the VLOOKUP, the IF, the OR, the AND, and nothing seems to work.

Saved from a previous post:

If you want exact matches for just two columns (and return a value from a
third), you could use:

=index(othersheet!$c$1:$c$100,
match(1,(a2=othersheet!$a$1:$a$100)*(b2=othersheet !$b$1:$b$100),0))

(all in one cell)

This is an array formula. Hit ctrl-shift-enter instead of enter. If you do it
correctly, excel will wrap curly brackets {} around your formula. (don't type
them yourself.)

Adjust the range to match--but you can't use the whole column.

This returns the value in othersheet column C when column A and B (of
othersheet) match A2 and B2 of the sheet with the formula.

And you can add more conditions by just adding more stuff to that product
portion of the formula:

=index(othersheet!$d$1:$d$100,
match(1,(a2=othersheet!$a$1:$a$100)
*(b2=othersheet!$b$1:$b$100)
*(c2=othersheet!$c$1:$c$100),0))
