lookup with IF criteria
I am needing to look up data from a seperate report in which the VLOOKUP
formula will not work as there are multiple instances of the lookup value in such. I would like to pull in specific results. Example - below is the table_array in which I want to pull in the result where 'jim' is either "def" or "jkl", first occurance of such is fine. is this possible with a formula? I then want to pull in the corresponding number in column c. Any suggestions are appreciated! a b c 1 jim abc 123 2 jim def 456 3 andy ghi 789 4 jim jkl 101 5 jim mno 111 |

lookup with IF criteria
Try one of these formulas...
'will sum up the values of c1:c5 with matching critieras...So if there is only one instance then this would work =SUMPRODUCT((A1:A5="jim")*(B1:B5="def")*C1:C5) 'will return the first matching instance whatsoever =INDEX(C1:C5,SUMPRODUCT((A1:A5="jim")*(B1:B5="def" )*ROW(C1:C5))) -- Jacob (MVP - Excel) "cv8497" wrote: I am needing to look up data from a seperate report in which the VLOOKUP formula will not work as there are multiple instances of the lookup value in such.

lookup with IF criteria
In the second formula below, would it be possible to nest an OR formula in
the 2nd part of the sumproduct formula? =INDEX(C1:C5,SUMPRODUCT((A1:A5="jim")*(or(B1:B5="d ef",b1:b5=”jkl”))*ROW(C1:C5)))??? I have multiple criteria i am searching for and it only needs to be on of them, but there may not be all of them, just a few of the criteria. Same example below but say I wanted to look for "tuv", "wxy" or "def". it can be any one of these. do i need to do an IF with numerous index formulas?
