How would i return Title 4 from SKU1 and Source2?
this is in a worksheet called "data"
this is what i have tried so far but cant quite get my head around it!


Code:
=INDEX(data!A2:G11,MATCH(A2,A2:A11,0),MATCH(FIND("SOURCE3",data!D:D,1),D2:D11,0))

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
How about


Excel 2013/2016
ABCDEFGH
1ItemNumberRetailPriceSourcePriceTitle

You'll need something like this array formula (entered using control+shift+enter):
Code:
=INDEX(data!$G$2:$G$11,MATCH(A2&"|SOURCE2",data!$A$2:$A$11&"|"&data!$C$2:$C$11,0))

It looks like you are searching for a row that has SKU1 as the ItemNumber (you are actually looking at whatever SKU is in row 2, which happens to be SKU1) and SOURCE3 (not Source2, as your description says) as the Source, and return the Title, which in this example is Title4.

I don't understand your column references, because it look like Price is in column D, and title in column E, and you have shown nothing for F and G.

You cannot do that with a simple INDEX/MATCH.

Here is a solution based on your data and description. Note that I have used an array formula. To enter an array formula, once you type the formula, hit CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER (not just ENTER). If you have it correctly you will see {braces} around your formula. You cannot type in the braces, they are just there to indicate an array formula.
