And beyond - table can be dynamic to a db.<br> WAY WAY too many ways to do the same thing - stupid crazy. There is a function for everything, and the only thing beyond that is VB - but excel keeps moving away from this even by adding more and more transparent wizards and functions. Users can stay in thier functional areas without the need to program or know anything but business. Bill Gates, please keep reducing the IT workforce with your wizard products, its a dicotomy because no one will buy newer versions unless they contain something more than the previous version.</p> Like JustinB, the DGET is the ultimate solution to any flat table problem.

And the Vlookup remains simple to read and write, just like any normal Vlookup

=VLOOKUP(F2,A2:D16,4,FALSE)

Where the column F could contain a combination of logical functions (IF, AND, etc.) that evaluates multiple columns

If you use INDEX, you have the benefit of placing the extra column where you feel more comfortable as said by Dick
