Hi,

It can be done with Vlookup in some circumstances but more often is done
with Index match. What are you trying to do?

Absolutely.

Concatenate your data into one column and make sure that the resulting data
is also a cell in the left column of your look-up array (table range).

For example: IF cell B1 contains an "A" and C1 contains a "B" and D1
contains "C" and you need to lookup "ABC", then in column A1 enter the
concatenating forumla:

=B1&C1&D1

to get "ABC".

Now, assuming there is a cell with "ABC" in the left column of the lookup
range, BINGO ... your vLookUp formula will work.

Good Luck.
 
I am trying to lookup 2 values in the same column A and get the sum of these
2 lookup values, which are also in the same column (say column B for
arguements sake)
 
maybe this

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A20={"cat","Dog"})*(B1:B20))

Which finds cat or dog and sums the corresponding cells in B

Mike, is this a CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER formula?
