    Pull text data using multiple criteria

    I have a sheet with names and references and I want to insert the references on a second sheet for the corresponding names. Any ideas how to do this?

    Sheet one has column A First Name Column B Surname Column C Reference

    On sheet two, I have column A First Name Column B Surname and in Column C, I want to automatically insert the same reference as on sheet one.

    Does that make sense?

    =VLOOKUP($A1&$B1,CHOOSE({1,2},Sheet1!$A$1:$A$100&Sheet1!$B$1:$B$100,Sheet1!$C$1:$C$100),2,0)

    That works but it seems only works if the data is in columns A, B and C? In the actual sheet, my data is in columns L, M and N.

    I changed the function but if I use L, M and N, I just get #N/A

    you did not show the formula, so we can't see what is wrong.

    even better is add the excel file, without confidential information.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.
