    Formula needed to match two columns on two spreadsheets and return a third

    I have two excel spreadsheets where I need to match the service location and bring back the merchandise amount for each month. I have attached a spreadsheet with an example of what I'm trying to match up in a formula.

    Thanks for the help!

    I have a solution - I think - but I have a few questions....

    In your example, in column A Sheet 1 you have Service Locations and none of them match what's in Service location for Sheet 2....Next, on Sheet 2 in column E, you have 2 number 1's and so if the match worked it would only return the 1st match, which Merchandise amount would you want returned?.....does this make sense.....but the way I used INDEX/MATCH and an Array formula....

    Sorry about that. The data in the columns isn't accurate. It was more to give someone an idea of what columns need to be matched up. Both Column A's will match and there will be a 1 thru 12 for each location address in column E (spreadsheet 2). Hope that makes sense.

    then try this

    ={INDEX($F$14:$F$20,MATCH(A3&F2,$A$14:$A$20&$E$14:$E$20,0))}

    notice the {} this is an array formula....basically enter the formula in without the {} and then DON'T hit Enter....do Ctrl-Shift-Enter and then drag to the other cells....because your data isn't accurate I can't verify this....but give it a shot....
