VLOOKUP 2 CELLS
I have rows of data that contain the following
column data b person id# e address p date moved in there are possibly multiple rows of data for each person's id, if they have moved more than once. I need to do a vlookup to look at a person's id#, & address & bring back that move in date. How do I accomplish this? |

You may include an additional column in your table and put in the formula e.g.
= B2&E2. In the vlookup-formula you have to put in the lookup-value in the same way, concatonating "person id#" and "address".

That sounds good, but I've been told that vlookups only look at the first row
that matches your lookup field. If I have multiple rows with the same ID#, will it look at each of those rows for the data?

As long as the combination ID#&Address is unique, it will work.
If it happens that you have both the same several times, it will only look at the first row where it appears.

You could create a pivot table off the data
