Thank you for this! I try to avoid multi-criteria lookups whenever possible, but the downside to that is that when they do creep up I can’t remember how to do them. In this case, because you’re returning a number, Sumifs would be a little shorter and easier on the RAM, but it was a great example nonetheless. For those curious, the Sumifs format is to specify the range the total comes from (in this case it’s just one value, which doesn’t change anything), then specify the range to look for the first criteria in, then specify the first criteria, then specify the range to look for the second criteria in, then the second criteria, third criteria range, third criteria. Here it would come out to (leaving out dollar signs for absolute references as in the example for clarity): =SUMIFS( E5:E13, C5:C13, B16, D5:D13, B17, B5:B13, B18)

I was searching everywhere for this. Thanks so much Joseph. I salute you!!!!

I have one table with many many records where each record has a category(meaning multiple records can have the same category). And separate table where I have specific values for each category. I want to add the values in first table from second table in a new column based on category. Can someone help please I don't know what functions to use? It will take days to do it manually..

Does this work similarly to COUNTIF function?

Omg this exactly what i need but What does this look like if the data is on a separate tab? 😅

the 1 in Match Function couldnt be recognized from Excel , what should i do ?

Can this be achieved with Multiple criteria using xlookup?

You helped me out because this example is much more closer to my problem I am trying to solve. For me I am trying to match a name that comes up more than once, but I want to find the highest number connected to that name. Would I need to also use the "Max" command for that with Match and Index ?

@jsphpalumbo

@rarpcgaming No, I would use =SORT function to grab the largest value. For example, using XLOOKUP (which is much more flexible compared to INDEX + MATCH) my formula would look like this =XLOOKUP("Joseph", B4:B7, SORT(B4:C7,2, FALSE)) =XLOOKUP([search key], [lookup range], [return range]) This will lookup the value you want, but always return the greatest value in the lookup range. Let me know if you want me to make a video on how to do this.

Why i had to enter Ctl+Shift+Enter to reach to the same result which you could do only with Enter, any reason?

Great video can you recommend what to do if you have multplie matches?

Yes, XLOOKUP is designed to find a specific match, but if you want to find all the matches for a set of criteria I would use the =FILTER function with multiple sets of criteria.

Thanks for this, but im getting this error, "Did not find value '1' in MATCH evaluation." how to go about it ? and aslo im trying this in Gsheets.

How to use these between 2 Google sheets.

Would index match be the right way to match claims data for pharmacy claims to find a certain payment or fee using 2 different worksheets? I have a worksheet with pharmacy claims data where I need to match the same claims data on an other worksheet that shows a fee that is applied. I need to match the Rx# and date filled from 2 data sets, but then one of those data sets shows a fee that is paid. I need that fee amount added to the claims data spreadsheet so I can accurately calculate the Net price and for the claim.

@edwardmusshafen5675 Index + Match would definitely be one way of doing it between 2 tabs in the same workbook. If you're trying to do it between two workbooks (2 different files) you will probably run into limitations. I'd also recommend trying =XLOOKUP which is the improved method of INDEX + MATCH. I have a video on how to that on my channel.

Hi, your video is really informative and practical. But what if I have another scenario whereby my match involves exact match and approximate match? How to perform both match type together under 1 index and match function. Are we able to achieve that? I tried before but I couldn't get it as I want to be able to use this formula in any excel version.

@jsphpalumbo

11 ай бұрын

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, there isn't one single function that will match with both exact and approximate values, but if you need to match within a range of values (e.g. >= 100) then I would use the FILTER function with multiple conditionals to accomplish that =FILTER(A:A,B:B=100,B:B>100)

Thank you for this video. This is the exact function I need for my project. Unfortunately I am getting over and over an #ERROR despite following you step by step and checking up the syntaxes multiple times. Tried also as array formula, but it didn't work. May you please direct me where the problem could be? Thanks :)

Hi there, sorry you keep getting errors. My guess is it's something to do with the values in your spreadsheet. When putting together your INDEX(MATCH) function try wrapping your lookup values in VALUE() to see if that fixes it.

hi, thank you. why 1 after match? and why multiplication,also what if I had needed the last number $2000? would I have to changed 1 and instead put 4 in the formula?

@galerion

Жыл бұрын

True=1 False=0, Match wants to = that 1 so where he has (C16=C5:C13) match will look for the first instance of that being true which means it has a value of 1. It will then do that for all the ranges until (C16=C5:C13)*(C17=D5:D13)*(C18=B5:B13) results in (C16=1)*(C17=1)*(C18=1)=1 across a row or if there is no row that results in 1; only 0 it will give an N/A error. * is "and" and + is "or". To get $2000 C17 needs to be changed to March, if you changed the 1 to 4 match wouldn't find 4 as the sums he's used can only = 1 or 0.

It depends how many matches there are in the table, but one method is to do a top-to-bottom match, and then do a bottom-to-top match. This might also be a case where VLOOKUP is a better option than Index + Match.
