Excel - Condition statements
I have a worksheet I am referencing with 2 condition statements to retreive a
value in another field on that worksheet. I keep getting the #VALUE error message. Here is my condition statement. What is wrong with it? =IF(AND(Database!B:B,A5,Database!A:A,C5),Database! E:E) This is saying go to the worksheet "Database" and look in column B for the same name that is in A5 on the current worksheet and look in column A for the same value that is in C5 on the current worksheet and bring me back the value in column E. |

Excel - Condition statements
Saved from a previous post:
If you want exact matches for just two columns (and return a value from a third), you could use: =index(othersheet!$c$1:$c$100, match(1,(a2=othersheet!$a$1:$a$100) *(b2=othersheet!$b$1:$b$100),0)) (all in one cell) This is an array formula. Hit ctrl-shift-enter instead of enter. If you do it correctly, excel will wrap curly brackets {} around your formula. (don't type them yourself.) Adjust the range to match--but you can only use the whole column in xl2007. This returns the value in othersheet column C when column A and B (of othersheet) match A2 and B2 of the sheet with the formula. And you can add more conditions by just adding more stuff to that product portion of the formula: =index(othersheet!$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)) ========= So in your case, you could use an array formula like: =index(database!e1:e999,match(1,(Database!B1:B999= A5)*(Database!A1:A999=C5),0)) (don't forget to array enter it: ctrl-shift-enter) Janet Sword wrote: I have a worksheet I am referencing with 2 condition statements to retreive a value in another field on that worksheet.

Did you use ctrl-shift-enter and see those {}'s surround your formula?
Are you sure that there's a match in the table? Janet Sword wrote: I tried this but now receive the error message #N/A.
