Hi ramdubai

Are the criteria values unique! If they are, try the following. assuming your data is in A1:C100 including column headers.

=LOOKUP(2,1/((A2:A1000=Value1)*(B2:B1000=Value2)),C2:C1000)

If there are multiple criteria which match, then try the array formula ("ctrl + shift + enter" to commit)

=IFERROR(INDEX($C$2:$C$1000,SMALL(IF(($A$2:$A$1000=Value1)*($B$2:$B$1000=Value2),ROW($2:$1000)-ROW($1:$1)),ROW($A1))),"")

Hi

Perhaps something along these lines.
=IF(A1=B1,C1,"")

Hi Kevin,

thank you very much for the reply. That was quite useful.

However, please find below the table I was referring to.

Weld Area Welder# Acceptance

Shell W-001 ACC
Base Pl W-002 REP
shell-1 W-003 ACC
shell-2 W-004 REP
shell-3 W-001 REP
shell-4 W-006 ACC
roof-1 W-003 ACC
roof-2 W-005 REP
girder-2 W-007 REP
girder-2 W-008 REP

I need to return all values in column A to a different sheet where the value in column#2="W-001" and column#3="REP" and so-on.

Thanks for your help again.

Hi ramdubai

As I said in my previous post, if there is more then one value to return, then use the second formula. You will need to change the formula as in the first post you wanted to return a value from the third column.

=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!$A$2:$A$1000,SMALL(IF((Sheet1!$B$2:$B$1000="W-001")*(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$1000="REP"),ROW(Sheet1!$2:$1000)-ROW(Sheet1!$1:$1)),ROW($A1))),"")

Array formula (CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER to commit) and copy down. You will need to adjust your columns, rows and sheet to suit your requirment.

So with your example, there is only 1 match for "W-001" & "REP": shell-3

Hi Kevin - this formula is exactly what I need in my sheet - I've replicated the above example and it works perfectly - but in my own sheet the data is located in columns B, C & F with the header rows at Row 4. I cant figure out how I can transpose the above formula into my own sheet. I'm guessing it is something to do with the ROW elements.

I am looking to check the criteria in C & F and then return the value in B

Could you advise?
