VLOOKUP based on 2 or 3 conditions....

[Waxaholic]

I have the following lookup table:

Col-1 Col-2 Col-3 Col-4
1 159 0 1
1 138 0 2
1 305 0 3
1 412 0 4
2 119 1 0
2 205 1 1
2 333 1 2

On another sheet i have a grid with the following:

Cell A1 is reference.

Col-2 Col-3 Col-4
? 0 1
? 0 2
? 1 1

Suppose the reference (A1) had a value of 1. I want to be able to lookup 1 (ref value) and 0 (col-3 grid) and 1 (col-4 grid)in the Lookup Table (col-1) and match it across with col-3 and Col-4 (lookup table), returning a value of 159 (col-2 lookup table) to the grid (col-2). I hope that makes sense. Can someone point me to an example or direct me to the correct formulas to accomplish this.

Thank you,

Try this (Sheet2 is your lookup sheet, with the data in cells A1:C7):

=SUMPRODUCT((Sheet2!A1:A7=A1)*(Sheet2!C1:C7=C1)*(Sheet2!B1:B7))

HTH,

Sorry but i omitted a couple columns in the original post. I just finished editing it and seen that you had already posted a solution for the initial posting. Would the same apply having to refernece 3 values?

When you tried extending the formula, what problem did you encounter?

Got it. Fantastic. Just had to sit back and think about it for a few minutes there. Thank you very much.
