Three Column Lookup-Use Match and Index?

[bfriederichs]

Got a little problem, making a spreadsheet to do an interpolation o
conductor sag data taken from a very expensive program. Here's m
problem, due to the nature of the data, I need to do a three colum
lookup function. Now, I tried expanding
=INDEX(Place to look
MATCH(Value_1,&Value_2,&Value_3,V1_Range&V2_Range&V3_Range, 0))

That's an expansion of something I figured out for a two column a fe
months ago, thought I could just expand it by one column, but obviousl
I'm mistaken.

Any thoughts?

Oh, and my VBA is so rusty it doesn't even move

It will work but the whole formula has to be enclosed in an array.
i.e. after you are done constructing the formula you'll have to ente
:

CTRL+SHIFT+Enter.

Please find my attached spreadsheet with an example. I think it shoul
work for you.

You have to enter that formula with ctrl + shift & enter

another variant is

=INDEX(Place to
look,MATCH(1,(V1_Range=Value_1)*(V2_Range=Value_2)*(V3_Range=Value_3),0))

also array entered
