look up value not working
Hi, I have to retrieve a value from a different table and I am using this formula:
I figured it our by myself. I write here the solution in case someone has the same issue. Basically my first formula was correct (Lookupvalue searching for multiple criteria,) but it was not working because lookupvalue doesn't work with dates. I have changed the format of the date to whole number and now it is working
