how to highlight the row that matches your criteria

[@ashish4all]

Index Match can also be used isn't it

[@macieknowak6355]

Why are you conecting E2 and E3 using &"|"&.
If you write E2&E3 and C7:C26&D7:D26 that's also gonna work. (At least in index+match it work properly)
Besides great video 😁

[@LearnExceltoexcel]

Well my assumption was that it will make new learners easy to see and understand that we are joining two columns...
but now that I have seen it... 🤔🤔 you are right... we might have just been better off without any symbol... and could have made formula much simpler to write and shorter too...
See... this is what I love the most about this channel... the discussion... and even when you feel "i got this"... there is a better cleaner way to do things... :) appreciate your input dear...

VB script without writing a VBA code... This is way cooler than I thought in the first place :)

[@excelmaster1328]

Why did u use 2 as column index for vlookup
I didnt understand

[@mcpett5742]

Because of the "Choose" function, The array is now of only 2 columns, because of "choose", first is the concatenate of first two and second is the amount column. Hence, 2 as for the amount column.

Try CTRL+ SHIFT+ENTER instead of just pressing ENTER if you have older version.

What does the sign mean &"I"& ?

[@LearnExceltoexcel]

Just used to combine two values. You can use any symbol or skip altogether. I used this to make it easier for learners to see two values concatenated together. As we have two values to lookup or two criteria, I joined both as one so that VLOOKUP can take them VLOOKUP by default can only take one lookup value from one column only.
