not sure why the sumif
need a clearer definition of the issue - perhaps a sample
will there be more than 1 match
otherwise an index/match should work
pull in what ?
but i'm not 100% sure of the cells - is the name in A1 and B1 identical
and what cells
something like
=INDEX(Sheet1!A1:A100,MATCH(C2&D2&E2,Sheet1!B1:B100&Sheet1!C1:C100&Sheet1!D1:D100,0))
i have just putin 1 sheet for clarity here
