16 The formula demonstrated in cell D13 is a regular formula, most people prefer a regular formula over an array formula if possible
17 INDEX(D3:D10,MATCH(B13&C13,INDEX(B3:B10&C3:C10,),0))
18 It combines both values you want to look for using the ampersand character. B13&C13
19 Then it concatenates the two cell ranges also using the ampersand character, the INDEX function makes it a regular formula. INDE
20 The MATCH function then returns the relative position of the of the combined values, see picture above.
21 MATCH(B13&C13,INDEX(B3:B10&C3:C10,),0) returns 6.
22 The value is in the 6th position in the array.
23 INDEX(D3:D10,MATCH(B13&C13,INDEX(B3:B10&C3:C10,),0))
24 becomes
25 INDEX(D3:D10, 6)
26 and returns Jennifer in cell D13.
27 If you don't mind array formulas, the only advantage is that it is somewhat smaller, use this formula:
28 INDEX(D3:D10,MATCH(B13&C13,B3:B10&C3:C10,0))
