    Question Auto populating cell based on data in 2 other cells

    I need to autopopulate cells based on data that is selected via drop down in 2 different cells. Based on what you select in the first cell and what you select in the second cell, a specific value is returned.

    I'm using this formula to autopopulate based on what is in one cell and that is working fine:

    =IF(ISBLANK(P3),"",VLOOKUP(P3,costdata,2,0))

    However, I think I need an "AND" function somewhere, because I need it to look at cell P3 and cell N3 and then return a certain value based on both of those fields.

    Thanks for any assistance you can provide!

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.

    What does your "lookup" table look like? Are you searching for data in a column against data in a row, to return where they meet? If this is what you are doing, take a look at he index/match combo...otherwise, follow Six's suggetsion
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
