How can I lookup when match has more than one value..

Server1 C:\ (2) 21478666240 17488568534 3990097706 81.42297263
Server1 D:\ (3) 2.9362E+11 68383018334 2.25237E+11 23.28963077
Server1 E:\ (4) 1.25325E+11 48705869576 76619192568 38.8636309
with the basic syntax of the Vlookup or Index Match, I can get the
utilization of the C drive or E drive but not the D drive..which has a value
of 23.289 % Any help is much appreciated.
Thankyou

Maybe what you're after is to match based on more than a single criteria?
(you should always post your formula(s) attempted)

Presuming your source data as posted in cols A to G,
where col G contains the "%" figures you want returned
based on a twin criteria match of the server and drive in cols A and B

You could put this in say, I1, normal ENTER:
=INDEX(G1:G100,MATCH(1,INDEX((A1:A100="Server1")*( B1:B100="D:\"),),0))
which will return the required: 23.29 from col G
Adapt to suit. The match criteria can be easily expanded likewise in the
manner shown to include other params in other source cols if needed.

Hi Max,
Thankyou for the prompt reply, this did work need to tweak a bit..

INDEX(disk!F4:F57,MATCH(1,INDEX((disk!A4:A57="Serv er1")*(disk!B4:B57="D:\
(3)"),),0))
I am yet to try your other solution..will try it too..
Max Thanks a lot.

Focusing on this line ..
How can I lookup when match has more than one value ..

Here's one way using a simple & fast formula set-up to extract multiple
matches
Presuming your source data as posted in cols A to G from row1 down
where col G contains the "%" figures you want returned
based on a twin criteria match of the server and drive in cols A and B

To extract all the values for "Server1" in col A, "D:\" in col B
In K1: =IF(AND(A1="Server1",B1="D:\"),ROW(),"")
In L1: =IF(ROW()COUNT(K:K),"",INDEX(G:G,SMALL(K:K,ROW()) ))
Copy K1:L1 down to cover the max expected extent of source data, say down to
L100? Col L will return all the multiple match results neatly packed at the
top. Minimize/hide away col K, which is the criteria col. Its quite easy to
understand what's happening in the criteria col, so you could easily
cross-apply to handle whatever criteria in other situations.
