Default Re: Tough Excel Question

You could create a fourth column that is the combination of the first two and do a VLOOKUP on that column. Am I misunderstanding your question?

This is the correct answer. If for some reason you cannot manipulate the data, then you can get funky with array functions instead. But usually, you should just create a new column in front of your data table called ID or Index or Key or whatever and just concatenate the two columns that you want to look up. Then just look up the concatenation.
