I have 2 workbooks.

First is called June2122.xls

It has columns such as Last Name (B2:B300), First Name (C2:B300), etc…

Second is June Emails.xls

It has columns such as Last Name (B2:B300), First Name (C2:C300), Email Address (D2:D300). These three columns are in a name range called Data_Table

What I need to do is compare the First Name and Last Name (B2:C2) from June2122.xls with the First Name and Last Name (B2:C2) from June Emails.xls. If they match then I need to populate the email address from June Emails.xls (D2) into a new cell on June2122.xls

All cells are formated as “General”.

I’ve tried several formulas, the closest I’ve got was this one:

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B2,'June Emails.xls'!Data_Table,2,TRUE)),0,VLOOKUP(C2,'June Emails.xls'!Data_Table,3,TRUE))

and all I get is a “FALSE” in the cell the email should be populating in.

Can anyone help with this? Thanks very much in advance!

    Hi I know this is an old topic but I have just found Stack overflow,

    The following formula will do a lookup based on concatenated Values without a need for an additional concatenated field to be added

    =IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!C$2:C$7,MATCH((A2&B2),(Sheet1!A$2:A$7&Sheet1!B$2:B$7),0),0),0)

    **NB: This is an Array Formula so remember to use Ctrl-Shift-Enter to get it to work 🙂

    so you can see what each part is referencing (sorry I used my own dummy data) here are the two data tables

    The Formula above is used in cell C2 of Sheet2 and is looking up the values of Sheet2!A2 & B2 against Sheet1 column A and B

    Sheet1

    Sheet2

    Figuring out this formula has saved me days of work, I hope it helps 🙂
