All,

I apologize in advance if this question has already been answered but I've been searching for close to two hours...

I have two spreadsheets.
Spreadsheet 1 Example:

How can I lookup both Name and category on Spreadsheet 1 and return the corresponding values of column 4 back to Spreadsheet 2?
I'd use vlookup if I only had one piece of criteria but what do I do since I have 2?

The red text on spreadsheet 1 is the data I need to cross reference to the "Names" and "Categories" on Spreadsheet 2. The Red on Spreadsheet 2 would be the result of the lookup (IE Corresponding value of Column 4 on spreadsheet 1)

I apologize in advance for how poorly this question is being phrased. A sample of the formula that would solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Probably irrelevant but the actual data on spreadsheet 1 spans over 100,000 rows and 6 columns. The actual data on spreadsheet 2 spans over about 100 columns and will be about 2200 rows.

Would a Pivot table work?

 

[acalorossi]

A co-worker recommended that but neither of us are familiar with how to go about setting one up.

I dont know why I'm struggling with asking the question in a more linear fashion...
If I just needed to take Column A's data on Spreadsheet 2, find a match on Spreadsheet 1, then return the value of column 5 for that match back to spreadsheet 2 vlookup is the easiest solution...

In my mind what I'm trying to do is vlookup(A1andD2,data!A1:L100000,5,False)... Now I know that doesn't work but I also know that from all of the posts I've read 80% of you guys probably know how to accomplish this very easily!

Pivot tables are under the insert tab. If you cursur is in the first data set, the wizard will ask if you want the data from your first data set. After the pivot table appears, drop name into the Row Labels, Catergory into column labels, and column 3 or 4 into the data.
