I have a worksheet with 3 columns (last name, first name, date passed test). I have another worksheet (from another source) with the same information. Where the last and first names BOTH match from one sheet to the other, I want to post the date passed from the second worksheet to the first. I already figured out VLOOKUP for the last name (and used IF(ISERROR) to put "NONE" if Sheet1.LastName is not in Sheet2), but now I have a problem when I have the same last name and different first name, trying to pull the right data for the right name.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
=INDEX(DateRange,MATCH(1,IF(LastNameRange=LastName,IF(FirstNameRange=FirstName,1)),0))

which must be confirmed with control+shift+enter, not just with enter.
