How To Use Index Match For 2 Criterias Using VBA

In this article, you will learn how to use INDEX & MATCH function in VBA to match 2 criteria’s in excel using VBA code.

To get the output we will use combination of OFFSET & COUNTA functions to create Name Manager list.

 

Let us understand with an example:

  • We have Student Report card with Student Name, Subject & Mark.

  1. What if the name was a column A2:A20 and the subject was row B1:H1 and the MARK are the area B2:H20
    can I have an excel sheet copy of that please ?

    Are we adding 2 rows given by 2 match functions - 1,
    here each match function gives independent Row number,
    resultant row number may change as per data position? may not give same result
