Question regarding VLookup and if it can check two columns of data
Hi,
My experience with any excel formulas is very limited and I was just wondering if someone could provide me with a formula / and or help with my current problem. I have two sheets in the same workbook and would like to return data from column 3 in sheet 1 to column 3 in sheet 2. However, i don't know if Vlookup can check two columns of data (text) in sheet 1 with two columns in sheet 2. Example below: (Imagine | as the divider between columns) Sheet 1: A | B | C Make 1 | Model1 | 2000 Make 2 | Model1 | 1000 / 1002 Make 3 | Model3 | 1003 Sheet2: A | B | C Make 7 | Model5 | N/A Make 1 | Model1 | 2000 Make 3 | Model3 | 1003 So as you can see above, I'd like it to check Make AND Model in sheet two with sheet one and return the value in column C in sheet 1 to column C in sheet 2. Any help with this would be great. Thanks in advance. |

Question regarding VLookup and if it can check two columns of
Hi - and thanks for the quick reply.
I've encountered a slight problem with that as it returns a 0 value - not sure why it's doing that. There's over 18000 different entries also, so doing that would result in me doing it 18000 times entering the Make1/Model1 each time. Can I make it refer to what's actually in sheet2 in column A and B rather than entering the values? Thanks again.
