Hi Everyone,

I was wondering whether anyone knew of a way of performing a VLOOKUP function which has multiple criteria. e.g. the lookup value would have 3 separate criteria and then you put the table array in and the column index.

Any ideas???

Thanks.

Greg.

The data is located in A1:F5.

I2: A

J1: May

J2, just enter:

=SUMIF($A$2:$A$5,$I2,INDEX($B$2:$F$5,0,MATCH(J$1,$B$1:$F$1,0)))

Hi everyone,

I want to make a lookup with three conditions. After reading the first pages of this topic, I managed to get a solution with a formula similar to this: =LOOKUP(2,1/((A1:A100="x")*(B1:B100="y")*(C1:C100="z")),D1:D100).
My problem is that somethimes i got more than one possible answer that match the conditions i stated, and excel only returns one of the results.
Is there any way of making an average of the possible answers that match the criteria?

Sorry if this was already answered in the previous pages.
Thanks.

F1, control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:
Rich (BB code): 
=IFERROR(INDEX($D$1:$D$100,SMALL(IF($A$1:$A$100="x",
  IF($B$1:$B$100="y",IF($C$1:$C$100="z",ROW($D$1:$D$100)-ROW($D$1)+1))),
  ROWS($F$1:F1))),"")

Thanks for the quick reply.
I guess it didn't work. The values that i get aren't the ones that shoud appear. Maybe i did something wrong.
But i can't use that method anyway because the processing time is too much just for a couple of cells and i need to paste that in hundreads of them.
Any other alternative?
