Here's a revised interp on your orig. post in .worksheet.functions,
and a way to achieve the multiple returns for any one set of inputs ..

Sample construct available at:
http://www.savefile.com/files/565184
Multi returns for matching multi criteria.xls

Assuming source data in cols A to E, from row2 down

Inputs will be entered in say, G2:J2 eg:
Petro, Penn, Transport, 4496

Put in K2:
=IF(ROW(A1)COUNT(L:L),"",INDEX(E:E,SMALL(L:L,ROW( A1))))

Put in L2:
=IF(AND((A2=$G$2)*(B2=$H$2)*(C2=$I$2)*(D2=$J$2)),R OW(),"")
Leave L1 blank

Select K2:L2, copy down to cover the max expected extent of source data.
Hide away col L. Col K will return the required results from col E, all
neatly bunched at the top.

Um, No. Max we didn't. The one you're referring to is the one that I'm
having a problem with. I've copied the formula that you gave me in to a
spreadsheet to try it and it only gave me the first column's answer -
not what the rates were along with it. Finding the the matching
criteria is one thing, finding the minimum rates and returning ALL of
the criteria i.e. Location,Product, Delvery, Return Cost is the total
objective. And honestly, I could see the formula doing only have the
task. If I am wrong, please help me correct this. Or if I'm doing it
wrong, help me through it. Again, the file (thread) you sent me only
does half. I'm grateful for any/all help you can give me on this. I
don't want to sound like I'm ungrateful, far from it, I just want to
understand the concepts here that you are trying to tell me. Thank you.
