displaying the correct value.

[GAIDEN]

I'm using the vlookup function to display the different types of work hours
for employees. But if there are multiple descriptions, the 1st result is the
only one I get.

A C D
Emp# Code Hours salary regular ot vacation
93 REGSAL 4.00 4.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
93 OVTIME 4.03 4.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
93 REGLAR 7.98 4.00 0.00 0.00 0.00
93 VACTON 8.00 4.00 0.00 0.00 0.00

the forumlas i'm using are
for salary: IF(VLOOKUP(A2,A:C,3,0)="REGSAL",VLOOKUP(A2,A,4,0),0)
for regular: IF(VLOOKUP(A2,A:C,3,0)="REGLAR",VLOOKUP(A2,A,4,0),0)
for ot: IF(VLOOKUP(A2,A:C,3,0)="OVTIME",VLOOKUP(A2,A,4,0),0)
for vacation: IF(VLOOKUP(A2,A:C,3,0)="VACTON",VLOOKUP(A2,A,4,0),0)

How do i get the correct values to display?

Maybe this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A10=A2),--(C2:C10="code"),D210)

Replace "code" with the appropriate code: REGSAL, OVTIME, REGLAR, VACTON.

Or, better yet, use a cell to hold the code:

A1 = some code like REGLAR

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A10=A2),--(C2:C10=A1),D210)

To get the correct values to display, you need to enter the correct formula.

To get the correct formula, you need to tell us what you want displayed.
What do you mean by "correct values"? Also, when you post back, please
clarify your table. It's very difficult to tell which column your data is
in.

Fred.

i was just advised to use
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A10=A2),--(C2:C10="code"),D210)
and it worked. thanks though
