Checking the lower row of vlookup()
 

I am trying to see if there is a way to check a lower row after vlookup has
found the string in the first column. Example:

Year Event Length
1995 A 10
1995 B 56
1995 C 15

How would I search on another sheet to see if year "1995" had event "C", and
if so, display the length. This is a long spreadsheet with many items in the
first column and the second column isn't always in the number of entries.

Thanks For Any Info.
