Multiple Lookup Criteria (revisited)
 

Hi All,

I'm using the following formula to return data in a sheet:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Demand1!$A$1:$A$9731=$A21),(--Demand1!$B$1:$B$9731=G$19),(--Demand1!$D$1:$D$9731=$B$17),(Demand1!$C$1:$C$9731) )

In the sheet with the formula, I have part numbers down column A, dates
across rows (19 in this case), and another text qualifier in B17.

In sheet "Demand1" I have 4 columns - A has part numbers, B has dates, C has
quantity (the value I want returned), and D has the text qualifier.

My problem is that the formula sometimes works and sometimes doesn't - it is
very tempermental. I've tried matching all the formating, and still
sometimes it does not work.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

There is a slight danger in your approach.

You are setting up criteria on cols A,B,D and pulling data from col C.

If more than one row matches the criteria, you will get the sum of the
passing col C values rather than just a single col C value.

I kind of figured it out, but still need some help. The problem was that the
dates are both formatted mmm-yy (eg, Nov-08), but the dates on the first
sheet are all for the first of the month, and the dates on the second sheet
are dates all over the month.

Is there anyway to match it just by month and year and ignoring the day of
the month?

Thanks,

Use the MONTH and YEAR functions, or use something like
TEXT(cell_ref,"yyyymm")

All three criteria have to be met for it to do this though, right?
