    Post Using Concatenated cell information in a VLookup

    Dear all,

    I have a table (which I'm trying to attach here but I can't see it)

    I want to use 2 criteria to bring back the information in another cell. So I have concatenated those cells with the formula =CONCATENATE(B22,C22)

    Then I go to the table and use =VLOOKUP(A2&B1,Lookup,4) but it brings back a completely different cell somewhere else in the table.

    Thank you so much

    This
    =VLOOKUP(A4&B3,Lookup,4)
    shoudl be this
    =VLOOKUP(A4&B$3,Lookup,4)

    Post a sample spreadsheet with expected results, remove any sensitive data, create a mockup example if necessary.
    Use the Go Advanced option at the bottom of the page then scroll down to Manage Attachments as the "paperclip" method does not work on this forum.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Ah thank you so much. It was just a case of missing an end comma thank you.
