Simple Formula

[Guest]

I thought that I had a simple formula but now I can not get anything to work.

I have a pricelist spreadsheet set up. From that spreadsheet I want to pull
the information into a quote template. I thought that it would be just a
lookup.

If a16 & b16 is equal to Pricelist! A2:B384 then c16 is equal to d2:d384.

Help!! Thank you

VLOOKUP works very well for single values:
=A16 & B16
just structure Pricelist so it has a single column of values for the lookup
rather than separate values in column A and column B

So you're matching on two columns and bringing back a third?

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't use the whole column.

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))

So your formula may look like:

=index(Pricelist!d2:d384,
match(1,(a16=pricelist!a2:a384)*(b16=pricelist!b2:b384),0))

(array entered)
