Search for data in 2 columns and return data from same row in 2 other columns

  • Device and OS platform: MacOS Sierra 10.12.6
  • Excel product name and version number: Microsoft Excel for Mac version: 15.27
  • Excel file attached
  • Context: I am trying to use an IF AND function and it's not working quite right. From Sheet 1 I need to search for a name and a period, if they are both found, then I need to copy over the course name and the teacher into sheet 2. I was able to get the first student and only for the first course, but then my formula won't work for the second or third student.
  • Current formula that I have tried: =IF(AND(Sheet1!$A:$A=Sheet2!$A2,Sheet1!$B:$B=Sheet2!$B$1),Sheet1!C:C,"n/a")
  • Ariana has a P3 period, but the value comes up as n/a instead of the course name and teacher for P3

Any help would be appreciated. I'm sure there's a better function out there, so please teach me your ways. Thank you!
