Conditional vlookup

[treasuresflemar]

I have a named Range "Price"

Ihave the folowing formula that works fine
=IF(B3>0,VLOOKUP(B3,Price,3,FALSE),"")

Except in column A I have a Manufactures name.
Column B contains the part number.

I want to only use vlookup on range "price" for matches to column a

What is the best way to handle this?
Thanks

Saved from a previous post:

If you want exact matches for just two columns (and return a value from a
third), you could use:

=index(othersheet!$c$1:$c$100,
match(1,(a2=othersheet!$a$1:$a$100)
*(b2=othersheet!$b$1:$b$100),0))

(all in one cell)

This is an array formula. Hit ctrl-shift-enter instead of enter. If you do it
correctly, excel will wrap curly brackets {} around your formula. (don't type
them yourself.)

Adjust the range to match--but you can only use the whole column in xl2007.

This returns the value in othersheet column C when column A and B (of
othersheet) match A2 and B2 of the sheet with the formula.

And you can add more conditions by just adding more stuff to that product
portion of the formula:

=index(othersheet!$d$1:$d$100,
match(1,(a2=othersheet!$a$1:$a$100)
*(b2=othersheet!$b$1:$b$100)
*(c2=othersheet!$c$1:$c$100),0))

Do you mean that you want to match on part number, but bring the
corresponding data from column A (name of manufacturer)? If so you'll
need to use INDEX and MATCH.

Hope this helps.
