How do you do a double Vlookup for multiple lookups.
I want to lookup column R, and then the row that has a "yes" from column S, then the values for the yes column in 6 different cells.

So, if R=7.5, and then the row with "yes" i want the 6 values from that row in 6 different cells

That could be not be difficult but you can't keep cells merged like in Column R of your sample data

thanks,
I expanded on this and figured a little more out along the lines of yours. Check this out, now the only time my values dont work is when my cell M26 is 7.5

You need to change the last option in your VLOOKUP's to 0 or FALSE for exact match.
VLOOKUP(M26&$S$43,$Q$44:Y58,8,0)

Solution
If you didn't want to unmerge column R or individually enter the column of the lookup, you could consider something like this.
It assumes each of those sections in column S are the same (no, no, yes in this example)
Note that I have removed the ":" from column J. They could be put back in but the formula would become a bit longer.
The formula in K27 is copied across 1 column and down. Same for the formula in M27.

Although the VLOOKUP solution works fine, it requires an additional helper column. So I personally find Peter's solution much better than that. However, string concatenation is also widely used as a VLOOKUP helper method that might help future readers, so, I won't change the marked solution in this thread unless @jrisebo thinks Peter's solution is the way to go as well and mark it as the solution.
