Looking up a value

Looking up a value

Looking up a value

(OP)
I have info in a table and want to return a value based on two values. The first is located in the first column and the second is in the row that would be returned from the corresponding column.

I can use a match to return the the row to lookup in and should also be able to get the second value from a match as well, but haven't figured out how to force the second match to look in the correct row of the array based on the first value. Any thoughts?

RE: Looking up a value

If I understand your question correctly, you can try vlookup2.  It's a custom script that you add in to your excel files.  It only works on a machine with the script installed, I forget what the file type is called.  It's been a while since I bothered with it.  

You can find the code here.  Credits are also on this page.

Hi  stumsigpi:

How about posting some sample data along with your expected result ... so we can see what you are working with and what you are trying to accomplish.

Thanks all. I was able to complete the task through the introduction of a choose function.
