Search data dependant on 2 cells

[ExcelRoy]

Hi,

I am looking for a formula to search a list of data for 2 different cells and return any match

C3= Reference alpha numeric number
I3= Article reference number

BL has a list of article reference numbers
BS has a list of alpha numeric numbers

If C3=BS and I3=BL then return what is shown in BU on that row

if nothing found then return ""

Many thanks for any help

Return BU on which row, are I3 and C3 going to find matches on the same row of the 2 columns, or do you mean return BU3?

Hi,

Yes return from BU3

Thanks

=if(and(match(C3,$BS:$BS,0),match(I3,$BL:$BL,0)),BU3,"")

<tbody>
</tbody>

Hi Dryver14,

Is there a way to modify this formula to only extract the last entry made for if the criteria are met?

Thanks

Sorry I don't understand the question, Are you asking if it can find a random cell?
