    Vlookup using multiple columns

    Hi All,

    I'm looking to simply find a function that allows me to lookup a certain value in a table of data and return the value in a specific column. So if I looked up the current date, 6/27/2011, it would return the week it is in (26). I dont want to be limited to just the monday column however, as the dates I will be throughout the entire week. Is there an easy way to do this in excel 2007? Any help would be wonderful!

    Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Week

    Re: Vlookup using multiple columns

    Hello hanez008,

    Let's say the lookup date is in J5, so try this;

    =INDEX(G:G,MATCH(J5,INDEX(A:F,0,MATCH(TEXT(J5,"dddd"),A1:F1,0)),0))

    See the attached.

    Re: Vlookup using multiple columns

    With your sample data in A1:G21
    and
    J1 containing the date to find....e.g. 2011-06-29

    This regular formula returns the Week that corresponds to that date
    K1: =VLOOKUP(J1,$A$1:$G$21,7,1)
    In the above example, the formula returns: 26

    Is that something you can work with?
