Lookup

[Robbyn]

Accidentally posted this in programming, so reposting here.

Greetings,

The following formula (compliments to many fine folks in this forum) is used to copy info from Sheet 1A to Sheet 2:

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(D$3,'1A'!9:9,FALSE)),"",IF($A4="","",VLOOKUP($A4,'1A'!$A:$AH,MATCH(D$3,'1A'!9:9,FALSE),FALSE)))

Autofill is used across and down the worksheet.

$A4 contains the last name of a person. $B4 contains the first name. The problem is sometimes I have more than one person with the same last name, so I actually need the lookup to match both $A4 and $B4. Is it even possible?

Thanks in advance,

Robbyn

one way to do it would be to add a column c, where c4 = a4&b4, and d
the lookup on column c

Thanks Duane! Great idea
