Hi,

I have been following the forum and it has provided me with some helpful tips along the years. However, this time I would have a problem I was not able to find an answer to.

I would like to have a lookup or query function which contains multiple criteria which can also be in "or" format. See the the screenshot below:



The idea is that for each product and the dimension it would search from a table the correct price. If the price cannot be found, it would return some sort of an error code (does not really matter which).

How would this work in excel?
 

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
If you reformat the table so you only have ONE length per row and ONE height per row you can just do a straight VLOOKUP.
It will make the table longer obviously

Explaning this a bit further if unclear:

Row 11 has product ABC and width 10, length 100, height 1000:
*Prices should be looked from column O as product is ABC
*Width is 10 which is allowed for rows 3, 5, 6, 7.
*Length is 100 which is allowed for rows 3, 4, 5, 6.
*Height is 1000 which is allowed for rows 5, 6, 7.
-->Consequently it could return cell O5 or O6. As O6 is empty, this could come with a max function.


A more straightforward is maybe row13:
*Product DEF -> column P
*Width 20 -> rows 4,7.
*Length 120 -> row 4
*Height 200 -> rows 3,4,7.
--> Only row 4 matches the criteria. The formula should return the value of cell P4.
