Default function help!

I want to find if one item sold this month is also sold in last month. If
so, return the quantify sold last month. How do I do that? thanks a lot.

that is-- to match column 1 and column 3 and then return the value of column 4

column 1 item name sold in this month
column 2 item quantity sold this month

column 3 item name sold last month
column 4 item quantify sold last month

Default function help!

Your cols 1 to 4 are assumed to be cols A to D,
with data running in row2 down

In E2: =INDEX(D:D,MATCH(A2,C:C,0))
Copy down. Joy? hit the YES below

Alternatively, you can try also vlookup

copy this formulae from =VLOOKUP(A2,C:D,2,0)

E2 to down
