LOOKUP function may help you solve this problem, please type this formula into a specified cell, and press Enter key to get the correct result you would like, see screenshot:
Note: In the above formula:
- A2:A12=G2: which means to search the criteria of G2 in range A2:A12;
- C2:C12=H2: means to search the criteria of H2 in range C2:C12;
- E2:E12: refers to the range which you want to return the corresponding value.
Tips: If you have more than two criteria, you just need to add the criteria into the formula as this: =LOOKUP(2,1/($A$2:$A$12=G2)/($B$2:$B$12=H2)/($C$2:$C$12=I2),($E$2:$E$12)).
