Lookups with two conditions
Look up a value that depends on two columns, with a helper key column or with SUMIFS when the answer is a number.
In this lesson
- A lookup searches one column and stops at the first match.
- INDEX and MATCH work on the key too:
=INDEX(return column, MATCH(C2&" "&D2, key column, 0)). - Lock every range with $ before you copy the formula down.
