Hello,

I am having a problem getting a formula to work. I have a Master data
list as as a stand alone file, configured as such (column
headings)...Month, Group Name, Data. I originally set up the data in
this structure to easily pull into a pivot table. Looks like:

_Month_ __Group_Name_ _Data_
Jan Sales $434
Jan R&D $123
Feb Sales $321
Feb R&D $225


Now, I have another file, which I want to reference and select specific
data based upon the first two columns (in this case it is month and
Group Name). So, if I want the month of January and the Group Name of
Sales in my new workbook, I want it to go to the other file and pull
the data, which in this case is from the third column ($434).
Therefore, I want a formula that say if it matches "Jan" and "Sales"
pull $434.

Sounds easy enough, but I can not get it to work properly as the
"match" statement is specific to a particular row and the Vlookup
statment has problems if I wanted to pull Feb data. Or at least it
seems to be the problem the way I am using the functins.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks@
