How to do a two way lookup in excel. This tutorial teaches you how to lookup a value in a table based on two separate parameters. It is similar to the Vlookup and Hlookup but this allows you to make a more versatile lookup function.
This tutorial expects you to have at least a general understanding of the Match() and Index() functions.

Do you have a video that teaches how to created a formula that uses one or the other? Let's day you have two criteria to extract data, Name of person or ID number. Thanks.

Hi EIH, am getting my feets wet with the match function and I welcome your input on how I can return certain data that meets a criteria. example: I have assigned a # to identify an employee. this employee has a preference to work an area. As I input the list of employees I want the formula to transfer the data of "only" those employees who work a specific area, creating a list for that particular area as I input the data in the main page. Can this function help me?

Point the lookup functions to the drop down menus and that should work.
