3 dimension look up

Hi

I recently attended the advanced excel training and have a question related to 3 dimension look up.

I have data ordered in a table in this way.

Column A contains countries
Column B contains metric
Column C contains year
Column D contains the unique value

There are 5,000 rows of data and I need a solution to look up values, asking excel 3 variables (country, metric and year) to get the value.

Using index and match, which formula can I use ?

Many thanks

Hi Clélia-elsa,

Thank you for the forum question.

I have attached an example file where you can see two options.

You may need a Sumifs function or turn a Index & Match function into an array formula.

Have a look at my example and please let me know if it makes sense.


Kind regards

Thanks! I worked out an array formula using index and match last night but I really like the sumif formula!
