Find the good data by matching 2 different criterias with a formula in an excel report

It is a combination of “index” and “match” formulas, much better than the “vlookup” formula because it doesn’t matter where will be the values.

When I use the formula ?

When I need to match 2 different values and I know that every month, those values won’t be at the same cell location.

 

How to use the formula ?

The formula in this topic is with "," so depending of the operating system of your PC, the formula should have ";" instead of ",".

 

How are the formulas ?

=INDEX()

=MATCH()

Put this formula in sheet2:

=INDEX(Sheet1!B1:O8,MATCH(A3,Sheet1!A:A,0),MATCH("PC",Sheet1!B1:O1,0))

macro excel

I ask the formula to index first all values between the column B and the last one from the first row to the last one “INDEX(Sheet1!B1:O8”. Secondly I ask it to match first, “France” represented by A3 in the column A “MATCH(A3,Sheet1!A:A,0)”.

Once it finds it, I ask it to match secondly “PC” which is always located in the row1 between the B and O columns “MATCH("PC",Sheet1!B1:O1,0)”.

NOTE: in this example, the “type” cell (for instance “type France”) is merged, I need to unmerge then copy/paste to the empty cells because merged cells won’t work. For more values, read Find the good data by matching 3 different criterias with a formula in an excel report.
