Hi Excel Nation,

I am currently working with 2 lists of data on 2 separate worksheets. By using the project ID numbers and the phase specified by the corresponding column, I am trying to return the status of the phases' QA status. For the below example, I want to return the status of the Define QA for project ID 310122...


[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="align: center"][/TD]
[TD="align: center"]A
[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]B
[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]C
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Column Headers
[/TD]
[TD]Project ID #
[/TD]
[TD]Project Name
[/TD]
[TD]Define QA Status
[/TD]

[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]310122
[/TD]
[TD]Money Service
[/TD]
[TD="align: center"]?
[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]



Worksheet 2, this is where I am pulling the status of the Define QA Status for project 310122 Money Service...this extensive list includes other project IDs as well.

</tbody>[/TABLE]


The 'Approved' status above is what I am trying to return in cell C2, and will ultimately do this for all other projects and phases in question. Just trying to get an idea how to build this out from the inside out.

Any assistance is appreciated!

C2 = INDEX(Sheet2!$C$2:$C$5,MATCH($A2&$B2&"Define",Sheet2!$A$2:$A$5&Sheet2!$B$2:$B$5&Sheet2!$D$2:$D$5,0)) press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER

Hmm, almost but that's returning the phase "Improve". It's my fault anyway, I made a slight mistake in the column headers and status options on my first post. Here is the correction to sheet 2. I'm looking for 1 of the 3 types of statuses according to the project ID, project Name, and the current phase Define (in header) from worksheet 1 on previous post.

So the return value I am looking for is "Approved" in cell C2

Worksheet 1 - OK
