I have a master price list were I have in column A the country name, and in
column B the machine model number and in column C the price.
Obviously you can find the same machine for many countries with different
prices, I need a formula were I can extract for a certain country the price
of a certain machine.

1 way
E2=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A100="usa")*(B2:B100=1)*(C2:C100 ))

another: put country in D2 and model number in D3
E2=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A100=D2)*(B2:B100=D3)*(C2:C100))

=INDEX(C1:C100,MATCH(1,(A1:A100="country")*(B1:B10 0="machine"),0))

which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not

Bob,
I'm getting closer and closer to understanding this stuff, but in this
example there is one small piece I haven't got yet,

Your Match() has 3 elements:
1) the 1,
2) the combination of the ranges (Col A and ColB as one parameter)
3) the 0, which is an exact match)

So 1 (in this case) is the lookup value, hummmm.. not sure I'm getting the
meaning here - I take 1 to be the value I'm looking for, confused

Tks in Advance,
Jim

Jim,

This is matching two values against two ranges.

So what it does is compare one value against one range

A1:A100="country"

which returns an array of TRUE/FALSE values aka the SUMPRODUCT tests that we
know and love. Similarly

B1:B100="machine"

returns another array of TRUE/FALSE.

By using the * operator, we coerce them to a single array of 1/0 values. The
MATCH statement is then used to find the first 1 within that array, and that
index number is passed to the INDEX function to find the matching item in
the third range.

This technique does assume only a singleton match, it cannot find multiples,
it will find the first if multiples exist. But that is no different to
VLOOKUP.

It is not working, see I can pass you the files if possible just tell me how

It gave me an error which is #NUM though I checked it many times. The point
is that in the countries list, the country is repeated many times, and in the
machine model column, the machine is repeated many times, you need to create
a lookup function which will search for the machine and then when it founds
the machine search in another column for the country and then when both the
machine and the country matches your search criteria you need to get the
price from another column, which means basically that you have a two columns

It gave me an error which is #NUM though I checked it many times. The
point
is that in the countries list, the country is repeated many times, and
in
the
machine model column, the machine is repeated many times, you need to
create
a lookup function which will search for the machine and then when it
founds
the machine search in another column for the country and then when
both
the
machine and the country matches your search criteria you need to get
the
price from another column, which means basically that you have a two
columns
lookup procedure.

prices. The system given me a dupm showing in one column the

Because the double condition test needs to evaluate to an array, and the way

Sorry to jump in here but I have a question that runs along the lines of the
original post of this thread but also has a different twist.

In each cell of Page 1, A1:100 I want to search Page 2, A1:50 for a specific
code. If that code is there then I want the amount in Column B of that same
row on Page 2 to be returned. I presume the first part is easily handled by
the first part of the INDEX formula below but how do I get it to return the
correct value?
