5123 120 3250.00
5121 140 2500.00
5122 140 1215.00
5123 140 3150.00

I need in worksheet 1 i.e Monthly exp in column 3 to look(bring) the amount
from sheet Jan09, amount of 5121 where the dept is 100.

It is clearly visible that 5121 head is present with dept 100,120 & 140 in my
example

Can anyone please help me on this?

Hope that is clear.

When you have multiple criteria use SUMPRODUCT()

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A10=criteria1)*(B1:B10=criteria2), C1:C10)

If you are using Excel 2007 you can use SUMIFS() to acheive the same result

=SUMIFS(C1:C10,A1:A10,criteria1,B1:B10,criteria2)

'or with cells F1 and F2 holding the criteria
=SUMIFS(C1:C10,A1:A10,F1,B1:B10,F2)
