I have a list of music numbers for our choir in calc. Each number is identified by a number in col A, and sometimes a sub-number or letter in col B. Something like:

296             title1  Composer        Arr.    text    publisher
297     a       title2  C2
297     b       title3  C3
298     1       title4  C1
298     2       title5  C3              A       B       xx
299             title6  C2

This is in the lab Mainlist. In another tab (performed) I just want to reference number and subnumber, and get the title, composer, arranger, etc. from the Main list. How can I lookup 2 values set in Performed E1 and F1 in the main list?

Insert an extra column - I'll call it "C" - between the subnumbers and the titles. In Cn, enter
=An&Bn
This will concatenate the values in the first two columns, to give "297a", "2982", etc. You can hide that column if you prefer, so it does not need to display or print.

To harvest the title, use:
=VLOOKUP(E1&F1;Mainlist.C1:H999;2;0)
To harvest the composer:
=VLOOKUP(E1&F1;Mainlist.C1:H999;3;0)
and so on .

I trust this helps.
