    Vlookup 2 Criteria (non array)

    Good day! I just want to ask if it's possible to use a formula (vlookup) using a 2 criteria without using an array (ctrl+shift+enter) method.

    I am using the INDEX MATCH method however since I have thousands of rows (55k), it takes a looong time before it generate the data. Maybe if I will use a simple formula just like a vlookup, it will lessen the generation of the data.

    Thank you in advance!

    It depends on how static the target data is and if it is in a table. The simplest way would be to have a helper column and concatenate the two key/searched fields (with &). You can then concatenate the search items and do a simple VLOOKUP. The advantage of the data being in a table is that the concatenated help field will be maintained automatically.

    No problem. Maybe you could share your approach for the benefit of others?

    Hi TMS, actually what I used is the one you suggested.

    LOOKUP(2,1/((A:A=x1)*(B:B=x2)),C:C)
