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?
