If you ever need to match multiple condition rows and multiple condition columns together, then it’s probably best to consider the INDEX/MATCH/MATCH formula.
The image below shows the result as 27, rather than 23. By changing the year in cell B12 the value from N5, rather than B5 will be returned. Provided the year and the month match a value will be returned. The lookup value in the MATCH function is compared to this temporary array. By making the MATCH formula an array formula we can match the two column criteria of month and year together. The example below shows July appearing twice in our data, once for 2016 and once for 2017. But what if we want to match multiple rows? We’ve seen, in previous posts, that it is possible to use VLOOKUP with multiple criteria where the data is in two or more columns. The formula in B12 is as follows: =VLOOKUP(B9,A2:M5, MATCH(B10,B1:M1,0)+1,FALSE) Looking up multiple rows The VLOOKUP function counts the first column as 1, but our MATCH function starts at column B, so it is necessary to add 1 to the column number for the VLOOKUP to return the value from the correct column. We can insert MATCH into the VLOOKUP function in place of the column number. We will be using 0 as that will provide an exact match. The last argument in the MATCH function is important. If we were to look up “Nov”, this would return 11, as that is the 11th item. The result of this formula is 6, as in the Range B1-M1 “Jun” is the 6th item. Using our example data we can find the column number of “Jun” using the Match function. The MATCH function is a very useful it returns the position of a lookup value within a range.
In these circumstances, we may need to look up to both the column and the row at the same time, such as in the data below.īut how can we achieve this? VLOOKUP & MATCHīy combining the VLOOKUP function with the MATCH function, we can achieve a lookup to a row and a column at the same time this is often referred to as a two-way lookup. There are times when our data is laid out in columns and rows.
