Is there a formula that you can have to criterias before you bring over a
lookup in another column?

I have to spreadsheets same info on both "hopefully" I want to compare them
to see the difference.
Store #, part # and qty. I want it to find it on the other spreadsheet and
give me the qty. So, I can see if I'm missing a store or part #.

thanks for any help. B.

If Store number is in Column A, Part Number in Column B, Quantity in Column
C, E1 contained the store name you're looking for, F1 contained the part
number then:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A10=E1),--(B1:B10=F1),C1:C10)

Change cell references as necessary to your other spreadsheet.
Note Sumproduct doesn't accept entire columns such as A:A or A1:A65536 but
A1:A65535 is okay.

SUMPRODUCT will perform multiple condition tests (if you want to return
numeric data). Also INDEX/MATCH entered as an array formula will perform
multiple condition tests to return text data.

Two links that may get you started.
