vlookup to match a key word and pull the amount for that line

[SwanB]

Hi all! I am struggling with an excel formula and I hope someone can help me out. What I have is two sheets. One is a Summary sheet and the other is a detailed sheet. What I need is in a cell on the summary sheet to pull a certain number from the detailed sheet. So if on the summary sheet the "Concat column BSMinex name" Matches in the detailed sheet in the "Concat Column" and If there is a "Drilling Contract Other" in the ObjectName column for that concat Name (BSMinex) then give me that $amount in the summary sheet cell of the Drilling contract other. I hope this makes sense.
thanks so much for your time looking into this.

detailed sheet

Note: Images are difficult to see , and also requires that I input all the data myself, which means I may make an error, which is very time consuming, and from my point of view less likely to get a response, if a complicated spreadsheet. Plus we cannot see any of the formulas used.

Therefore -

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

This will possibly enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

You can also test to see if it works ok, in the "Test Here" forum.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.
Please make sure you have a representative data sample and also that the data has been desensitised, remember this site is open to anyone with internet access to see - so any sensitive / personal data should be removed

Make sure you set any share or google to share to everyone
