adding AND, OR to excisting INDEX formula

[mariekek5]

Hi, in case I use the following formula:

=INDEX(A1:A9;MATCH(1;("L-1234"=B1:B9)*("Homer"=C1:C9);0))

Is it possible to find the match with 'Homer OR Janssen', instead of just
'Homer'?

And also, can I ask for an extra criteria from another column using AND?

So what I want is a match with the row which contains:
'L-1234' in column B;
AND 'Homer' OR 'Janssen' OR 'Smith' in column C;
AND 'plastic' in column E.

I really hope somehow this is possible.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Try:


Code:
--------------------
=INDEX(A1:A9,MATCH(1,("L-1234"=B1:B9)*(ISNUMBER(MATCH(C1:C9,{"Homer","Janssen","Smith"},0)))*(E1:E9="plastic"),0))
--------------------
