    Lookup Help

    I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I'm trying to look through 2 columns at the same time while matching them to data from 2 other columns and linking data from a third.
    Here is my example. I need to pull the qty from the second group to the first based on the job and operation info.

    Job Op. Qty. Job Qty. Op.
    a 1 b 4 1
    a 2 a 5 2
    b 1 a 6 1

    Re: Lookup Help

    ...and what's the answer to the limited example you show? I can see no Job/Op combination from the first group in the second group.

    Assuming there were to be matches, could there be many matches, implying you need to sum data rather than just getting a single value? It would help if you'd upload an actual example of real data and manually add the results you expect.
