Lookup Issue

[Jayz]

I have a problem that I require help on.

I am working on a big spreadsheet. I have to pull information from one sheet
into another. However I have 2 lookups to do. Is this possible.

example - Info Sheet
A B C
1 Manchester ABC Total -230.30
2 Manchester DEF Total +123.34



Example - Working Sheet

A B C
1 Store Name ABC Total DEF Total
2 Manchester

I need to lookup "Manchester" and "ABC Total" to give me "-230.30" in a cell.

Any Ideas if this is possible, or another solution!!

Thanks in advance

I find it easier with something like this to insert a new column C in
the Info sheet and to concatenate column A and B together to give a
unique reference, i.e.:

=A1&B1

copied down.

Now you can use columns C and D as your lookup table. A typical
formula for the layout you show would be something like this in B2 of
the Working sheet:

=VLOOKUP($A2&B$1,Info!$C:$D,2,0)

Copy into C2, then down if required.

Hope this helps.

You could join the two columns together in a third column and do the look up in that column...
=B1 & C1 would give you "ManchesterABC Total" to lookup.

Thanks for your prompt responce.

Unfortunately, the suggestion doesn't help me as the spread sheet is also
feeding other information utilitising the "Branch" names.

I wish I'd never started this project!! Ha Ha

*Maybe* this...

Entered on the Working sheet in cell B2:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Info!$A$1:$A$5=$A2),--(Info!$B$1:$B$5=B$1),Info!$C$1:$C$5)

Copy across then down as needed.

You will still have the branch information in columns A and B, so you
can still do that.
