Vlookup one value then another

[Michelle7890]

I have a spreadsheet (example below). I want to be able to look up the first
value which is a cost center, then within that cost center find an account
number and return the $value. For example I want to look up account 12001 in
Cost Center 300 and get the value answer $10.
How can I do this?

Column A Column B Column C
Cost center # Account# $Value
300 12001 $10
300 12002 $30
300 12003 $50
400 12001 $20
400 12002 $40
400 12003 $60

One way:

E1 = lookup cost center = 300
F1 = lookup account number = 12001

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A10=E1),--(B2:B10=F1),C2:C10)

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A100=costcenter),--(B2:B100=account),(C2:C100))

Hope this helps.

One way to lookup 400 for acct 12002 to get 40
=VLOOKUP(12002,INDIRECT("b"&MATCH(400,A:A,0)&":c"&MATCH(400,A:A)),2)

Hopefully you won't have more than one double match in each block or the
others won't work.
