vlookup with multiple values

[David]

Hello,

I have 2 worksheets. One with historical rents: it has 5 columns:

A B C D
E
Store # active rent Monthly Rent Rent Start date
Annual rent
1 500 active 1,734 5/9/2003
20,809
2 500 active 2,365 6/1/2003
28,376
3 500 active 2,512 6/1/2008
29,263
4 501 active 4,411 3/4/1998
52,936


The second spreadsheet is organized like an income stmt with monthly
financial data.

if i change the store # in cell D4, it will update the entire sheets income
stmt showing financial data for the entire sheet. i'm trying to show
historical rent, so it will show rent that was paid that month... currently
whenever i change the rent, from the sheet that has the current rent it will
change everything in the past, so i just want it to show the actual rent that
was paid.

Any help would be great!

Thanks!

David

It's not real clear what you're wanting to do. Can you rephrase it?

I'm trying to show what rent was paid in a specific month and year. So, if
rent was $1,000 in March of 2007 and it changes to $1,200 in March of 2008.
So, if i have a list of one store with changing rent, i want it to correspond
with the date.

I thought of a sumproduct or an index... Maybe, i shouldn't have used
vlookup as the subject.

Let me know if this helps or if you need more clarification.

Thanks!

You can use SUMPRODUCT for that as long as there aren't multiple rents
listed for the same month/year.

Something like this:

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

However, I'm guessing you want something different because the rent dates
have gaps. Do you really want the most recent rent?
