=VLOOKUP(C4,'Named Fields'!AH3:AM116,6,FALSE)

Hi, and thanks in advance for your help.
I have the above formula set in a workbook.
I have sheet 1 with my main information.
I have sheet 2 with all my directives.

So, I have set up as follows:

sheet 1 contains:
cell c3= client
cell c4= project
The vlookup I have entered in cell c5 is to return a job number based on the
project in cell c4 which is listed on sheet2.
Problem is, I have multiple projects named the same. They're under different
clients.
I found a post that said I could use:

=vlookup(C3&C4,'Named Fields'!AH3:AM116,6,FALSE)

But that didn't work.

Is there any way to have vlookup find what's in cell C3, then proceed to
cell C4 to returns the results in the 6th column?

Thanks,

Debbie

Hi Debbie,

if on the column h you have figures, try to use sumproduct as

sumproduct(--(c7:c20="client")*(d7:d20="project"),(h7:h20))

hope this helps

Hi Marcelo,

In this case you don't need "--". You can use sumproduct function in may
ways:

sumproduct(--(c7:c20="client"),--(d7:d20="project"),(h7:h20))

or

sumproduct((c7:c20="client")*(d7:d20="project"),(h 7:h20))

or also

sumproduct((c7:c20="client")*(d7:d20="project")*(h 7:h20))

But last one could produce errors if (h7:h20) contain a single text entry.

I fixed the file for you.

To use a formula like

=VLOOKUP(C3&C4,'Named Fields'!AH3:AM116,6,FALSE)

also the first column of your table, i.e. column AH in the formula above,
*must* be a concatenation of the two fields you are looking for.

I thik also you should "incapsulate" your VLOOKUP formulas inside an IF
function, to prevent a display of #N/A errors:

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(....),"",VLOOKUP(...))

In this way way your VLOOKUP should return a #N/A, the cell will be blank.

I tried to upload the file again, but I receive an error of "page not
found".

I suspect some problem with the servers of site, so try to download the file
later.

Anyway, I explained before how to set your table to work with this kind of
VLOOKUP formula:

=VLOOKUP(C3&C4,'Named Fields'!AH3:AM116,6,FALSE)

You have to set your table, here 'Named Fields'!AH3:AM116, with an extra
column, so the table becomes 'Named Fields'!AG3:AN116; you have also to add
1 to your results column, here from 6 to 7, so the formula becomes:

=VLOOKUP(C3&C4,'Named Fields'!AG3:AN116,7,FALSE)

The new extra column *must* be a concatenation of the same fields, and in
the same order, than C3 and C4.

Franz,

I did what you suggested.
I placed the concatenate at the beginning.
Works perfectly!!!
