Hi,
I am trying to do a lookup and having problems! Multiple Companies with
multiple products with different prepay dates. Wanting to use today's date
as the main criteria and return the correct % based if the order was placed
prior to the date below here is the example:

DATE IS 10/15 ON ORDER WANT IT TO LOOKUP PROD A/MFG A / CASH AND CHECK WHICH
DATE IS THEN 10/15 AND RETURN THE CORRECT % FOR A DISCOUNT

PROD A MFG A CASH 10/10/09 10%
PROD A MFG A CASH 11/10/09 8%
PROD B MFG A CASH 10/10/09 10%
PROD B MFG B CASH 11/15/09 7%
PROD B MFG A CR CARD 11/15/09 6%

HELP

Lookup criteria:

G2 = PROD A
H2 = MFG A
I2 = CASH
J2 = 10/15/2009

Maybe this array formula** :

=INDEX(E2:E6,MATCH(1,(A2:A6=G2)*(B2:B6=H2)*(C2:C6= I2)*(D2:D6J2),0))

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT
key then hit ENTER.

With date 10/15 in cell F1 and your data in colA:E try the below array
formula. You create array formulas in the same way that you create other
formulas, except you press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to enter the formula. If
successful in 'Formula Bar' you can notice the curly braces at both ends like
"{=<formula}"

=INDEX(E1:E10,SMALL(IF((A1:A10="Prod A")*(B1:B10="MFG a")*
(C1:C10="Cash")*(D1:D10F1),ROW(A1:A10)),1))
