I have 2 sheets. Sheet1 has a Date of a transaction, the amount of the transaction, and the last 4 of the card used plus other data. The other has the same information plus the account number used on. At times, cards are used multiple times. I need to combine these two sheets. I need the formula to search that if the date, and amount matches, bring back the account number. But if it doesn't keep looking until the end of the list. For sure, the value is on the list but it needs to not stop looking if the date matches but the amount doesn't. Can I do this? (I removed the extra data to protect our customer's identity.)
