Help With a Variable Formula
 

I am trying to get a formula to check all rows in a column for a
particular value and return a corresponding value. My current formula
looks as so:

=IF(A2='Sheet2!B3,(IF(J2='Sheet2'!I3,'Sheet2'!D3,0 )),0)

I would like the formula to check all the rows in A[y] against all the
rows in Sheet2!B[y+1]. Likewise all the rows in J against all the rows
in Sheet2!I[y+1], and then return Sheet2!D[y+1]. I would like to find
where all of the conditions are true and then sum every true value in
Sheet2![y]. I have not incorporated the SUM function yet because I do
not want to have to write a specific formula for each case. If I did
it that way it would lose more time than it is worth and my formula
would be a mile long. I am not much of a programmer so any advice
would be great. Could anyone help me derive a function or show me some
good VBA code that could help me solve this problem?

Help With a Variable Formula
 

Maybe something like

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A1000=Sheet2!B3:B1001),--(J2:J1000=Sheet2!I3:10001),Sheet2
!D3:D1001)
