vlookup using 2 columns
Hi,
I have 2 sheets in a work book. One sheet contains the master list and the other Sheet is the Data Entry sheet.
However I need to look at 2 colums to populate the item description.
Stocktake.xlsx. I have attached the sample file for reference.
There are 2 input fields - IniqueItemCode and EAN
After input the item description should appear. There are cases where we have both values in Col A and Col B
and the Item description will Populate. Please advsie
I'm confused when you need both columns (A and B) as criteria, but I see your file you have several blanks on column B, can you explain it?
There are some blanks. Not all items have barcodes so the alternative is the product code. If either is entered. the Item Discripton is populated
Which version of Excel are you using? Your profile says 2007, but you have attached an .xlsx file.
You can nest two VLOOKUPS within an IFNA function:
=IFNA(VLOOKUP(one),VLOOKUP(two))
In C2 copied down:
=IFNA(VLOOKUP(A2,MasterList!$A$2:$C$15,3,0),VLOOKUP(B2,MasterList!$B$2:$C$15,2,0))

Put this on L6
=IFERROR(INDEX(C2:C15,CHOOSE((L2="")+1,MATCH(L2,A2:A15,0),MATCH(L3,B2:B15,0))),"")

If the output needs to be based on L2 and L3, then this:
=IFNA(VLOOKUP(L2,MasterList!$A$2:$C$15,3,0),VLOOKUP(L3,MasterList!$B$2:$C$15,2,0))
Excel 2007 has xlsx extension vs. Excel 2003 with xls extensionOriginally Posted by AliGW
and IFNA() (2013) doesn't work on Excel 2007

Or,
In L6 :
=INDEX(C2:C15,IF(L2<>"",MATCH(L2,A2:A15,0),MATCH(L3,B2:B15,0)))

OK - for Excel 2007, then (untested):
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(L2,MasterList!$A$2:$C$15,3,0),VLOOKUP(L3,MasterList!$B$2:$C$15,2,0)))
Thanks you all I have to use formulas and it worked
