Lookup multiple conditions

Question

I have been browsing around for a bit and still can't seem to find an answer. I am trying to lookup a using two conditions if possible.
In the example below I am trying to lookup column C in table 1 from table two to provides results shown below. Any thoughts?
Table 1
A B C
PHL 6/1/10 25
NYC 7/1/10 35
Table 2
Date PHL NYC
6/1/10 25
7/1/10 35

Answer 1

Hi J,
Parsing on the forum removes extra spaces (and other non-visible characters), making it difficult to show a table. I've used underscores to push data over to the 'column' you want it in. (The column labels, A, B and C are separated with sticky spaces—option-space to do the same thing.)
LOOKUP doesn't seem necessary here. Enter the Date, PHL and NYC labels into the header row on Table 2, then these formulas in Table 2.
A2: =Table 1::B
B2: =IF(Table 1::$A=B$1,Table 1::$C,"") (Click Accept, then drag the small round handle at the lower right of cell B2 to the right to fill the formula into cells to the right. The resulting formula in C2 will be the one below.
C2: =IF(Table 1::$A=C$1,Table 1::$C,"")
Select cells A2:C2 and drag the handle down to fill all rows on Table 2.
NOTE: Numbers will replace the cell/column references in the formulas with the names of those columns.
Regards,
