    Picking up correct data after matching up columns using vlookup with match

    Dear All,

    Currently I am facing a problem in excel.

    I want to pull column G data after matching column A&B,C with that of column F and Column H. When it matches then it must pull or pick up data from G column correpsonding to the correct entry.

    Hoping a desired solution as usually.

    With Best Rgds

    Hi there. Is this what you wanted (your expected results were all 0)...

    If not, please shout!!

    These are Array Formulas. They're a little different from ordinary formulas in that they MUST be confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER.

    You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around the outside of your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error message or an incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.

    Don't type the curly braces yourself - it won't work...

    Why? In what way does INDEX-MATCH fail to deliver on your expectations?

    VLOOKUP works (unless you go complicated) works from left to right. Your data is not organised in that way.

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A3&"/"&MID(B3,4,255)&"/"&C3,CHOOSE({1,2},$F$3:$F$11&"/"&$H$3:$H$11,G$3:G$11),2,0),"")
    try this array formula
    @Glen your formula is working nice for example provided by OP but in real time it may give wrong result for example
    in F5:H5 if the data is L/111210 Hari 144 instead of L/1112 Hari 10144
    it will give wrong result
