ok Please can you help me here goes

I have a table showing this data
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
aa gyn c att 23 22 21
aa gyn s att 11 26 31
aa gyn c h 14 00 36
aa vas c att 11 15 28
cb obs c att 10 08 43
cb obs s h 11 12 14


this is an example of the data which goes on for about 500 rows I want to
put a formula into a report which will pull out on certain criteria for
example I would like my report to give me the number in colomn 5 for the
person initials in colomn 1 showing he is a gyn showing he is a c and att

my report does not work because i have more than one set of criteria for
"aa" in the first colomn. i used a vlookup but I am unsure how to do this
with all the filtering needed


please help me
thankyou so much
kate

try sumproduct it allows multiple criteria. the values i have included
in " " can be replace with a cell containing that value if it is
easier

=sumproduct((b1:b500="gyn")*(c1:c500="c")*(d1:d500 ="att")*(e1:e500))

Regards

Dav

Kate,

Do you mean something like

=INDEX(E1:E20,MATCH(1,(A1:A20="aa")+(A1:A20="cb"), 0))

or maybe even

=INDEX(E1:E20,MATCH(1,(A1:A20="aa")*(B1:B20="gyn") *(C1:C20="c")*(D1:D20="att
"),0))

which is an array formula (both are), it should be committed with
Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not just Enter.

Hello again I am sorry its still not working i am being really thick becasue
I want this to give me a number in colomn 7 and I am unsure how it will do
this. When i put the index in it gives me a number from the several it could
choose from but as soon as I add in match in comes up with N/A#

My index alone is=INDEX('Outpatients New'!A4:H293,4,7)

With MATCH
=INDEX('Outpatients New'!a4:F293,MATCH(A1,'Outpatients
New'!C4:C293="ATT")*MATCH(A1,'Outpatients New'!D4:D293="C"),0)

Please could one of you help me again,
Thankyou
