Using INDEX/MATCH formulas in Excel for two-condition lookups across sheets.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# INDEX & MATCH for Two-Condition Lookups in Excel

## Pattern: Cross-Sheet Lookup with Two Criteria

When you need to look up a value using both a row identifier and a column identifier (e.g., series code + year), use INDEX/MATCH:

```
=INDEX(DataRange, MATCH(RowCriteria, RowLookupRange, 0), MATCH(ColCriteria, ColLookupRange, 0))
```

### Example
Given a Data sheet with series codes in column B and years in row 4:
```
=INDEX(Data!$H$21:$M$40, MATCH($D12, Data!$B$21:$B$40, 0), MATCH(H$9, Data!$H$4:$M$4, 0))
```

### Key Points
- Use `$` to lock ranges that shouldn't shift when copying formulas
- Lock row criteria column with `$D12` (column locked, row relative)
- Lock year row with `H$9` (column relative, row locked)
- The third argument `0` means exact match
- INDEX range and MATCH ranges must align (same rows/columns)

### Openpyxl Implementation
```python
# When writing INDEX/MATCH formulas via openpyxl, use string assignment:
ws['H12'] = '=INDEX(Data!$H$21:$M$40,MATCH($D12,Data!$B$21:$B$40,0),MATCH(H$9,Data!$H$4:$M$4,0))'
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cxcscmu/skilllearnbench/excel-index-match@sha256:18b0cc68ff6b7da0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260424.d50cf5a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
