Comparing two columns in one Excel sheet, to two columns in another sheet, and if they match, copy data from another column

Question

I\'ve been looking at using the Excel VLOOKUP function to accomplish this, but I\'m pretty unfamiliar with it.

I need to do the following:

On sheet one, column A

Answer 1

try this:

Put this formula on sheet1 column C:

=VLOOKUP(CONCAT(A1,B1),Sheet2!A:D,4,0)

You would need to have 4 columns on sheet2, the first column would need to be a CONCATENATE FORMULA like this:

=CONCAT(B1,C1)

The second column would be your first name, third column your last name and last column the corresponding email.

How this formula work's?

 =VLOOKUP(**CONCAT(A1,B1)**,Sheet2!A:D,4,0)

It's concatenating the first and last name on sheet1 and looking for it on Sheet2 on column A, if there's a match it will return the email cell value in sheet2 column D (column D index is 4).

Hope this help you
