Default VLookup to find two values first

Hello,

I am creating a list where I want Vlookup to populate by returning
particular values from an Overview list. However, I want Vlookup, to
find (match) the values in two different cells before donig so:

e.g. My overview list contains the last names and first names in
seperate cells:

A B C
Smith John Red
Smith Tom Blue

I want Vlookup to lookup the values in cells A and B before giving me
the value in C.

I am using the following formula:

=IF((AND(A1=Overview!A1,B1=Overview!B1)),VLOOKUP($ A:$A,Overview!$A:$C,
3,FALSE)," ")

However, the problem is, that the names can be anywhere in the
Overview list and therefore I cannot use absolute cell references.
E.g. Smith, John can be in cell A5 in the Overview list and not
necessarily A1.

Does anyone know, a better way of using this formula.

Thanks a ton!
