Dears,
kindly I want to fill Column sub Category 1 & 2 from another sheet with the Following Condition


Sub Category 1 will be :
if (Activity coloumn = 211 or 212) : COGS
if (Activity [FONT=&quot]coloumn[/FONT][FONT=&quot]= 111 or 231) : G&A[/FONT]
if (Activity [FONT=&quot]coloumn[/FONT][FONT=&quot]= 111 or 231 & Cost center = 312 & 341 ) : S&M

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
let's think this is new sheet i'm looking to fill it, ok :)
and i want to create the function to fill subcategory 1

as i told you our mapping in the company is :
Activity : 211 or 212 will be COGS
Activity : 111 or 231 will be S&M
Activity : 111 or 231 with Cost center ( 312 or 341) will be S&M

for sure the name will not be only COGS or S&M or G&A , i just try to explain our map. so i want to creat equation to fill rows of new sheet from our Database.

For Example :
line 1 to 5: we need to make vlookup with two criteria (search with account number & Activity)
line 6 to 7: we need to make vlookup with three criteria ( account number & activity & Cost center )


MY Question now :
what's the equation give me this result?i want to make an equation for 30K row :(

i make it clear now, look at below example and you will understand what i mean :D
Line 1 is unique ( we can search by account number & Activity)
Line 3 & 4: the same Account number & Activity but different Cost center, so it gives you different result

53140101 isn't in this table:

Can you post it? Don't worry about posting too much, go for like 40-50 rows if you can.

Sounds like you want a multi column lookup, very easy to do, I just have to know where to look for it.

Post the first table with the data you're looking up. Not all 30,000 rows of course, but enough where I can see a pattern, say 30-50. Then post a results table that shows every possible condition. I'll write a formula that returns the same data, and if something's missing you can tell me and we'll adjust.
