Match names between two sheets and return value of a cell in the row

Copper Contributor

Hi there:  

 

I am tracking forecast and actuals for various projects and vendors (example attached).  I'm looking for a formula to compare the projectname, services co. name, month and year on different rows and then subtract the amounts in column N (net amount due) from column P (forecast amt.) - if the projectname,services co. name, month and year matches.   I have thought about concatenating the four criteria into one long wordstring in a new column to compare, but now sure how to use this to subtract two other columns if the workstrings match?    Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you,

Hi Ellen,

 

For that sample

formulas in column E could be

=IFERROR(INDEX(Table1,MATCH(1,INDEX((A7=Table1[One])*(B7=Table1[Two])*(C7=Table1[Three])*(D7=Table1[Four]),0,1),0),5),"")

Please see attached.
