    vlookup question

    I'd sure appreciate any advice and assistance with the following problem; I have a lookup tab which contains three columns: Column A is a tax ID #, Column B is a set of numbers and Column C is a list of street names. I need help with creating a lookup type formula for my column AB in the (worksheet/tab) titled 2009, which will look at and compare the data in columns F & G and compare them to columns B & C in my "lookup" tab and if a similar address is found based on both the street name and number then the tax ID # affiliated with that address from the "lookup tab" will be automatically placed in the column AB in the 2009 tab. I hope this makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'm attaching a sample of my spreadsheet which is an excel 2007 type file.

    Thanks NBVC

    But neither formula seemed to work for me and it should have found all of the addresses typed in. Any other ideas? I appreciate your help!

    Did you confirm the formulas with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER keys all pressed at once? And then copy down.
