I want to search sheet 2 for both column a and d in sheet 1, and return
column c of sheet 2

sheet 1
a b c d

sheet 2
a b c

Try this array-entered** formula...

=INDEX(Sheet2!C1:C10,MATCH(1,(Sheet1!A1=Sheet2!A1: A10)*(Sheet1!D1=Sheet2!B1:B10),0))

** Commit the formula by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter, not just Enter.

=INDEX(Sheet2!C1:C20,MATCH(1,(A1=Sheet2!A1:A20)*(D 1=Sheet2!B1:B20),0))

which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not
just Enter.
Excel will automatically enclose the formula in braces (curly brackets), do
not try to do this manually.
When editing the formula, it must again be array-entered.

Note that you cannot use a whole column in array formulae (prior to excel
2007), but must use an explicit range.
