VLOOKUP Function
Can you enter multiple values in the "Lookup_Value". I have 3 worksheet, on
sheet 1, I have cell J9 that looks at I9 and a data table on sheet 3 which works ok for now, but the results in J9 must be in conjunction with I9 & D9. Can anyone help with this request. Thanks in advance for reading my posting. |

VLOOKUP Function
Vlookup can't take multiple criteria. You could create a helper column with
the criteria columns concatenated (in K9, for instance: =I9 & "-" & D9) and lookup the concatenated values. Or check http://www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.SUMPRODUCT.html to see how the sumproduct function might help. "Serge" wrote: Can you enter multiple values in the "Lookup_Value".

VLOOKUP Function
You're trying to match up on multiple columns and when all the columns match,
then retrieve a value from that same row??? You can use this kind of syntax: =index(othersheet!$c$1:$c$100, match(1,(a2=othersheet!$a$1:$a$100)*(b2=othersheet !$b$1:$b$100),0)) (one cell) This is an array formula. Hit ctrl-shift-enter instead of enter. If you do it correctly, excel will wrap curly brackets {} around your formula. (don't type them yourself.) Adjust the range to match--but you can't use the whole column. This returns the value in othersheet column C when column A and B (of othersheet) match A2 and B2 of the sheet with the formula. And you can add more conditions by just adding more stuff to that product portion of the formula: =index(othersheet!$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)) (still an array formula) Serge wrote: Can you enter multiple values in the "Lookup_Value".

VLOOKUP Function
Thanks for your reply Dave, it's 7:30 pm I will try this tomorrow evening
after work. I'm too tired at the moment. I've been at this for the last 8 hours.
