I have data in two columns. In column A:A I have years and in column B:B I ahve months. Lets say on another sheet someone select the year 2001 from a dropdown and in another dropdown the month August. So we have 2011 and August. I need a macro to look in A:A for the year and find the month August and her is the key, return or tell me the row. Below is and example. I need to find row3 with a macro.
Column A;A Column B:B
row1 2010 July
row2 2011 May
row3 2011 August
row4 2011 March

If you put this in as an array formula, it will return the row:
{=MATCH(D1&E1,A:A&B:B,0)}
Note, type in:
=MATCH(D1&E1,A:A&B:B,0)
and press ctrl-shift-enter to make it an array.

Hi Dan,
Could you please attach you sample file, now I am not sure if there is any thing wrong? Understand your file, then can solve the problem, may be only 30-40 records is enough.
Regards,
Pichart Y.

Note, in my test data I had the table in A&B, with the lookup values in D1 & E1.
