This is the solution to my problem! So Cool! Failed to realize that was the key to my problem. Now it works! Thank you for sharing! Thanks Andrew, this is really helpful!
Now your website is my go to place! Also the explanation is clear once you actually start reading:. So it works for the first entry it finds when the two criteria are met, but once I drag down it just keeps returning the same results. What do I modify to have to keep searching through and pulling all cells that meet the criteria?
It works perfectly if one of the criteria is not number though. What have I missed out? I have a little question. But … I have another question. Your post nor the one above it does not give enough details to describe your situation.
If you email me directly, I might be able to help. Feel free to send me your spreadsheet. You can make up fake data in it if you wish, or send me the actual data. Once I solve the problem for you, I will delete all traces of it on my system and never use it, publish it anywhere, or send it to anyone else.
I just wanted to share my appreciation for this tutorial, and the example spreadsheet. I spent hours on other website trying to figure out how to do this, but this example finally helped me to achieve what I wanted to do. This is great! It s a nice article, was trying to use the above using match conditions across 2 sheets, did not seem to work for me. This was very useful, thank you very much. In my case I have three matches and would like to bring the last one. Thank you for this!
It works, but I still have one issue. There can be anywhere from rows that match my two criteria. In cases where there are multiple matches, I want to return their sum, how can I do this? Can I place my array formula within an IF statement? Thanks for the tutorial, this worked great!! Which is fine, but I have about 70 such spreadsheets each with 3 tabs and it's a pain to have different formulas depending on the 3 digit code.
It was very useful for 2 criterias. It worked. The whole formula will be gone in the relevant cell. How can the formula be changed to match the data in one sheet to an array in another sheet?
My question How to keep the same item in different row if we have more than 1 number of item. Your email address will not be published. Notify me of follow-up comments by email.

Hello, In my scenario, I am using G2 as a date and would like to retrieve the date closest to the date provided on G2. Hi Robert, I am having a sheet with names in one column, and in another sheet with names and numbers. If anyone knows a better solution ….
How do I change the formula to return 0 or something else when both criteria are not met? Hi, I found your formula very useful. Can you please explain its working to me?
Hi Randy, Glad you like the tutorial! Good luck! This worked perfectly once I put it in as an array formula. Hi Andrew, I have the same issue as Chris does matching 3 criteria , plus I need to match a few columns of data, and I need to pull it from one tab into another tab.
Much appreciated! Great Stuff! How many criteria can I fit in using this method? Best regards! Hi Katie, Congratulations on getting the formula up and running! Many thanks!
Hi Alberto, Thanks for the feedback! Hi, I wondered if there was a way to do this within the formula using the MAX command somehow? Hi, I think there is an easy way to do it but you need a new column in your data sheet Please check below. You can even create as much criteria as you want. This How to saved me about 5 days woth of work… its is awesome. Thanks a bunch. Any ideas why?
Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge. This worked perfectly for me! All you need to do is lock the row references. A1:A61 becomes Sheet2! Thanks Andrew.
Can you please show me an example fot the single string option? Thanks a lot! Hi, Thanks for sharing this very useful formula. Cheers, Adam. Hi Adam, Data Tables in Excel work on internal logic that lets you easily duplicate formulas all the way down the rows. Hey Andrew, Thanks for a great tutorial.
Rgds, JK. Thanks in advance! Hi, Once, you enter the formula in the cell, dont press enter. Hope this was useful. I did a test on this and it worked perfectly, but all my data was on 1 sheet. Thanks for your advice. This was a great guide. How to find the value of row 3 which criteria base on the first and second row?
Great post. Thank you Andrew. Worked very well, just the array is heavy on calculations. Happy to share if anyone wants any more info Avraham.
Hi, Can anyone help me in getting the SR No if i enter the date and country. Wowwww Such a wonderful function. Thanks for explaining and bringing it to us. Hi, thanks for the fantastic explanation. Many thanks. One final type of error is the NUM! This type of symbol is viewed in the formatting of a cell but should not be manually entered. To remove such errors, review the characters and formats of your cells.
However, the real world often requires you to use two or more criteria when looking up data from a database. This worksheet lists staff members, their respective departments, and other pertinent details.
To get the right John Smith for your lookup, you will need to make each John Smith unique in the first column of your table. Keeping in mind the best practices of performing a lookup in Excel, insert a lookup box into your spreadsheet that is at least one column or row away from your database for your VLOOKUP formula.
Select column B in your worksheet, insert a column to the left, and label it Name-Department. Click Enter on your keyboard. Concatenation is a great way to account for multiple-string search criteria. Since there may be multiple people with the same name, use both criteria to identify the correct person.
Insert lookup boxes in the same manner as you did in the exercise for a VLOOKUP with multiple criteria, spacing them at least one column or row away from the database. This possible drain on your computing power is due to the nature of Excel having to check every cell more than once for the required criteria.
Adding an array to your normal formulas essentially directs Excel to create and perform functions on virtual data. This is data you will not see in any cell but is still calculated. Manually typing in these curly brackets on the outside of the formula will not create an array formula.
This worksheet has data about a sales staff and how much each employee sold in the first quarter. You could easily add another column to this worksheet to sum up the columns, but if you wanted to do this calculation on another worksheet or workbook with thousands of lines of data, it gets complicated. A combined formula is the most prudent route. Since this covers multiple criteria, you will add an array. The columns Excel moves over to report back.
The formula is then wrapped in a SUM function, since the return is multiple values in an array. The formula is wrapped in a MAX function, since it returns multiple values in an array. One neat trick when working with arrays: Click the F9 key while selecting a portion of the formula.
Clicking the Esc key sets the formula back to normal. This worksheet tab has sales staff and their sales per month for the first quarter. You are tasked with figuring out their bonuses, which are calculated monthly and based on a monthly threshold in the Percent Bonus Table. Type the following formula in your first cell, F3 :.
Then the four months are summed to determine the quarterly bonus. The 0. From there, the formula virtually becomes:. This worksheet has two tables: the staff names with corresponding ID numbers, and January sales data. Unfortunately, the January sales data is listed by staff ID, and you need the data matched to their name and totaled for their monthly sales total to credit the right staff member.
Once you enter the formula, click and drag cell I3 down through cell I7 to add the formulas for your staff. One of the most onerous problems with VLOOKUP is when users make changes columns are added, deleted, or simply moved to a workbook and you must rewrite all the formulas. This issue is frustrating and time-consuming. When working with Excel, it is important to learn other formulas for performing the same task.
Some functions take up considerably more computing power than others, especially if there are many lines of data in your database.
With some newer updates to Microsoft products, more system resources are required than ever before. Features such as excessive or conditional formatting, unused styles, shapes, and certain formulas take up a lot of memory and can cause workbooks to run slowly and even crash. Lookup functions are notorious for taking up a lot of memory. Another method is to use other formulas that perform the same type of task. The syntax is:. MATCH looks for the value in your specified array and returns its location.
What remains the same in any lookup function is that there needs to be a unique value to look up. Your options to write into this formula are:. To differentiate them and get the department for a specific person, you need unique information for them — in this case, their full name and their employee ID.
The lookup array compares the defined employee ID against all of the employee IDs in column C, as well as the defined full name against the other full names in column A.
This formula alone returns One consistent theme you will see throughout your Excel training is that there are multiple ways to accomplish the same return using different functions and function combinations. In the preceding sections, we introduced you to array formulas. After installing Kutools for Excel , please do as this:. In the Multi-condition Lookup dialog box, please do the following operations:. Then, click OK or Apply button, all the matched values based on the multiple criteria have been extracted at once, see screenshot:.

To merge "duplicate rows" in a single row, we are going to use another tool - Combine Rows Wizard.
In this example, we do not check this option, and the add-in returns all found matches. For example, in cell C2, we have this string: Lemons, Bananas, Apples, Lemons, Bananas please see the result on step 5 below.
If you choose to delete duplicates, the result would be: Lemons, Bananas, Apples. Skip empty cells - self-explanatory :. This is how you can look up and return multiple values in Excel using our tools. If you are curious to give them a try, a fully-functional evaluation version of the Ultimate Suite is available for download below.
Vlookup Multiple Values - examples. Vlookup multiple values using a formula Vlookup to return multiple values in columns Vlookup to return multiple matches in rows Vlookup multiple matches based on multiple criteria Vlookup to return multiple results in one cell comma or otherwise separated How to do multiple Vlookup in Excel using a formula As mentioned in the beginning of this tutorial, there is no way to make Excel VLOOKUP return multiple values.
The task can be accomplished by using the following functions in an array formula : IF - evaluates the condition and returns one value if the condition is met, and another value if the condition is not met. SMALL - gets the k-th smallest value in the array. INDEX - returns an array element based on the row and column numbers you specify.
ROW - returns the row number. Below you will find a few examples of such formulas. Formula 1. Vlookup multiple matches and return results in a column Let's say, you have the seller names in column A and the products they sold in column B, column A containing a few occurrences of each seller. To have it done, please follow these steps: Enter a list of unique names in some empty row, in the same or another worksheet.
In this example, the names are input in cells D2:G2: Tip. To quickly get all different names in a list, you can use a formula to extract distinct values in Excel. To see the calculated value behind a certain part of the formula, select that part in the formula bar and press F9.
