Hi, Hoping to match column A and column B in "2021" sheet to same combination of column A and column B in "Sheet 1" using a range and if yes, return column C (aka "Rev") result from "Sheet 1" in equation cell in "2021".

I've tried the following but it says I have too many equations - =VLOOKUP(A4:B4,Sheet1!A9:C904,MATCH,"Rev"(Sheet1!$A$9:$C$904,0))

Any suggestions?

Thank you!
Corina
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
I think I could answer this, but I need the data behind it. Even an example spreadsheet showing your intent.

Just a little education:
VLOOKUP(A4:B4,Sheet1!A9:C904,MATCH,"Rev"(Sheet1!$A$9:$C$904,0))
In a vlookup the first condition has to be a single cell. You're asking it to compare a range from A4:B4. That's more index/match kind of stuff, and why you're getting the error. Well, one reason.

Hi Orange Yoda! Thank you so much for replying. I'm attaching an excel for reference.
Green cell - where we want to equation/results
Yellow cells - combination of of A5:B5 data found on the next sheet and if yes, return the "Rev" column information.
2021 Sheet:

Sheet 2
If yellow two columns match the same yellow columns in 2021 sheet, put corresponding data from column C on the first page sheet in the green column.

I can think of a few more complex ways, but I think this simple formula will do it for you.

Forgot to mention. The last "" could be filled with anything. I prefer my data clean so I leave NA results blank. If you like you could put "SOMETHING WRONG HERE". Anything you like between the " "

This is SO CLOSE!!! For the Sheet (second tab) we want it to look at the full table range. The info is in the same columns (A and B) but for the look up we don't want it to be a static line.

This is what we tried but it's not doing the range for the second sheet - any advice?

=IF(AND(A4=Sheet1!$A$10,'2021'!B4=Sheet1!$B$10),Sheet1!$C$10,"")
