Hi All,

I am am performing a 2 way lookup within the array below, based on "Month" and "Name", to return the intersecting value/blank.
This works fine, however I need it to return the last value if the "name" Column has a duplicate. (For March I want Jane to display 150, instead of " - ")


ABCDE
1JanFebMarApr
2Jane150150 - -
3Bob150150150150
4Kim
-200200200
5Tom -120120120
6Sam -300300300
7Jane - -150150

<tbody>
</tbody>

The formula I have been using is =VLOOKUP(A10,A2:E7,MATCH($B$9,$A$1:$E$1,0),0)

AB
9Mar
10Jane -
11Sam300

<tbody>
</tbody>


My problem is when there is a Duplicate in the list of Names, The first value in the array is the result.

Do anyone know a way around this, and returning the value of the last Name?

Any input is much appreciated!
