Hello! I feel like a dummy asking this as it is probably the most simple thing ever but I have a major headache trying to work it out!! :banghead:
Here is what I am trying to tell Excel to do...
If the # in worksheet CHECKBOOK!N:N is a "2"
And the Text in CHECKBOOK!C:C matches "TMOBILE"
Paste whatever number is in CHECKBOOK!E:E
Into Worksheet Cell BILLS!B25
I have no idea how I keep getting this screwed up...
Any help is so greatly appreciated!!!

=INDEX(CheckBook!E1:E1000,SUMPRODUCT(--(CheckBook!C1:C1000="TMOBILE"),--(CheckBook!N1:N1000=2),ROW(A1:A1000)))

In your example, you use N:N, C:C, etc. And you want the answer to go into cell B25. I don't understand how you can get "one answer" using this notation. How will the formula know which row you are interested in?

why not create another column (eg column o)and combine "tmobile" and "2" and use that column to be "looked up" against
step 1 = formula in column 0 =CONCATENATE(C3&N3) etc
step 2 = in cell b26 (or any "spare" cell in sheet "bills") simply type the text TMOBILE2
step3 = in cell B25 in bills use a sumif ie =SUMIF(Checkbook!O:O,bills!B26,Checkbook!E:E)
I tried it and it works...

Thanks Immatoity,, I missed that column E was a number. That simplifies SumProduct.
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Checkbook!C1:C10000="TMOBILE"),--(Checkbook!N1:N10000=2),(Checkbook!E1:E10000))
Jennifer, these answers depend on unique solutions in your data. There is no check for that.
