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))

Thank you!!! I actually had just found that formula, but was forgetting to
hit ctrl shift enter instead of just enter and it wasn't working. After
reading your post... it worked perfectly!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
