    Using MATCH to find row number based on a two-column lookup.

    Hi All,

    I'm needing to find the actual number of a desired row based upon a lookup of two values in a column. For example, consider this table:

    Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4
    1 A XXX YYY
    1 B YYZ AFC
    2 A GDS CCV


    Say I wanted to find the row that had 'Col1' as '1' and 'Col2' as 'B', how could I construct a match function to return the row number?

    I've tried things like:

    Critera1 = "1"
    Critera2 = "B"
    myRow = Application.WorksheetFunction.Match(Critera1 & Critera2, Range("RefSheet!$A$2:$A$4") & Range("RefSheet!$B$2:$B$4"), 0)

    But this is continually returning an error.

    Thanks in advance for any help offered.
    Anubis.

    Thank you both for your solutions. I was hoping there would be a one-liner function that might do the job, but this works perfectly as an alternative.

    Thanks
