Default Searching & Extracting Data

Hi there, I'm wondering which would be the most eficient way to search for
and extract data from anywhere from 1000 to 2000 rows of data. Would the use
of a worksheet function sufice or would VBA code be better?
Here's the senerio:

A B C D E F G .......
1 101 204 $5.99 12 1 ? ?
2 104 201 $4.99 10 2 ? ?
3 101 204 $2.99 3 4 ? ?
4 105 202 $1.99 11 3 ? ?
5 102 200 $4.59 20 5 ? ?
6 102 200 $1.50 30 1 ? ?
7 101 208 $6.49 25 1 ? ?
ETC...
I need to extract information in many ways.... i will need to do about 50
separate and different searches and extracts from this data to a specific
cell. So I'm thinking that the re-calculating of this workbook would be too
demanding. Here are two examples of what I'm looking for... The first is
searching through column A til the end (End is always unknown and changing)
let's say we're searching for 101 in column A. It would find 3 results, in
this case. I would then need the sum from columns(E*D*C) from rows 1,3,7. So
cell AA100 would get this grand total of $270.01.
The second method would be the same but would perform a second search in
column B... so we might look for 101 in column A and 208 in column B then do
the same mathematics. I hope I've explained this OK... I think I'm confused!

Thanks Craig
