Date	Name	Fruit	Remarks
July 10	bbng	apple	good
July 12	bbng	orange	bad
July 13	bbng	apple	so-so
July 14	bbng	grape	very good

notice how that July 10 and July 13 have the same name of fruit?

I want to check first if Name is "Bbng" then check if fruit is "apple" if both are true I would like to output the date and remarks on a new worksheet
i got July 10 using ISERR(SEARCH("apple") and INDEX(A:A,(Match())) forumla.. but i couldn't get the one on July 13th...

hi bbng610, welcome to the forum. Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution.

Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you. i'm not real good in titles too, but try something like "Separate List to pick up based on Multiple criteria"

see if the file helps. it's an array formula...confirmed by pressing CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER to activate the array. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.
