I'm trying to lookup a value in a table based on two criteria:

If the account number matches and the item number matches, return the purchase price - I've been using the following formula, but it's returing values that don't match and I'm not sure why...

=INDEX(range in colum containing value from results table,MATCH(item number from table in another sheet,IF(range in column contating account number from results table=account number ,range of item numbers from column in results table)))

I've entered this formula using Ctrl+Shift+Enter

Any ideas why it isn't working?

Thanks!

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
Hi

You are not doing an exact Match().

Try the exact same thing but use Match() with 3 parameters instead of 2, and use 0 (zero) for the third parameter.

What version of Excel are you using?

If the combination of account number + item number are unique then you can use a normally entered conditional sum formula.
