Use Index Match to Return Value Using Lookup Value from Multiple Columns

问题

I'm trying to return a value from one column using values from a range of 3 columns. When I enter an electrical, plumbing or gas permit number into a report (D14) I want the corresponding building permit number to be entered into another cell as the file reference. The report is one worksheet and the list of permit numbers is another worksheet in the same workbook. It's one permit one report so I don't think I need anything complicated. VLOOKUP didn't work because I need to search right to left.

This is the Index Match formula I've used but I can only use 1 column as the lookup value and I have a column for each type of permit.

=INDEX(Building!$A2:$A25000,MATCH(D14,Building!$D2:$D25000,0))

回答1:

Wrap your MATCH function(s) in IFERROR function(s) so that the lookup is passed to the next column if it is not found.

=INDEX(Building!$A:$A, IFERROR(MATCH(D14, Building!$D:$D, 0),
                       IFERROR(MATCH(D14, Building!$E:$E, 0),
                       IFERROR(MATCH(D14, Building!$F:$F, 0), "nowhere"))))
