LOOKUP Help
 

Hi

I have 3 columns of data. (approx 1,000 rows)

The 1st column has an identifier number (ie; PN22001-A in cell A1)
The 2nd Colum has a colour (ie; Mist Green in cell B1)
The 3rd colum has a stock number (ie; 4505-3456 in cell C1)

I would like to be able to have a lookup table in the 4th column that when
the idendifier number is typed in the next 2 adjacent cells returns the
colour and the stock number. Is this possible?

Any help would be much appreciated.

John

One way ..

Assuming inputs for the identifier number will be made in a 2-part form,
eg in E1: PN22001, in F1: A

Then we could place in D1:
=IF(OR(E1="",F1=""),"",INDEX(B:B,MATCH(E1&"-"&F1,A:A,0))&",
"&INDEX(C:C,MATCH(E1&"-"&F1,A:A,0)))

D1 will return the result from cols B & C as: Mist Green, 4505-3456

D1 can be copied down to return correspondingly
for other pairs of inputs in E2:F2, E3:F3, etc
