I'm trying to make an expandable formula to match values from 3 columns to a table that has 4 columns, and take the 4th value of the matched row:

Table 1:

A    B    C

0    1    0
1    0    1   <-- matching this row
1    1    0

Table 2:

D    E    F    G

0    0    0    1
1    0    1    0.5   <-- expecting 0.5
1    1    1    1

And I'm using this test formula for VLOOKUP:

=VLOOKUP(A2&B2&C2, $D$1:$G$3, 4)

This however returns N/A even though 1 0 1 exists in Table 2

  • Use INDEX() & MATCH() or If you are O365 user than use XLOOKUP() Function with VLOOKUP() you cant concatenate and use it in that way Commented Apr 24, 2022 at 17:50
  • @Mayukh Bhattacharya I followed this example and it seems to work for them for some reason. Commented Apr 24, 2022 at 17:51
  • in the said example it worked because Reference the Lookup Value in table 2 is already concatenated where as in your example it is nt hence its not working. Commented Apr 24, 2022 at 17:55

    So for your query the formula should be =INDEX($G$1:$G$3,MATCH(1,(A2=$A$1:$A$3)*(B2=$B$1:$B$3)*(C2=$C$1:$C$3),0)) Or, =XLOOKUP(1,(A2=$A$1:$A$3)*(B2=$B$1:$B$3)*(C2=$C$1:$C$3),$G$1:$G$3,"None") Commented Apr 24, 2022 at 18:06

    Provided options by Mayukh are the better ones, justed wanted to show that the logic you used can also be used in VLOOKUP in the following way: =VLOOKUP(A2&B2&C2,CHOOSE({1,2},$D$1:$D$3&$E$1:$E$3&$F$1:$F$3,$G$1:$G$3),2,0) note that this only if your data is always 1 character and all 3 columns are filled for all, otherwise there's the risk for false matches. Best to use the solutions from Mayukh. Commented Apr 24, 2022 at 19:14
