    Lookup On Multiple Columns And Return Result Using Match Index

    In my workbook I have 2 sheets named Project costing and salaries .Each sheet has 1 table . i need to compare Resource Name and Month in Table in 'Project costing' sheet with that in another table -Table 8 in 'Salaries' sheet. If 'Resource Name + Month' combination is matching in both tables, then formulae has to return CTC (Another coloumn in Table 8) figure in corresponding row in Table 8.Following is the formulae I used. But it is returning #VALUE

    INDEX(Table8[[#Headers],[CTC]],MATCH('Entry | Project costing'!B4&'Entry | Project costing'!D4,Table8[[#Headers],[Team]]&Table8[[#Headers],[Month]],0))

    B4 has resource name and D4 has Month entry in the table in project costing sheet. 'Team' coloumn has resourse name and 'Month' coloumn has month entry in Table 8 in 'Salaries' sheet. Can we use logical connectives in match function as I have done?

    Please help. I have been pondering with this days together…

    Would be best if you can post a sample database with the expected output
    A dream is not something you see when you are asleep, but something you strive for when you are awake.

    It's usually a bad idea to say that something can't be done.

    The difference between dream and aim, is that one requires soundless sleep to see and the other requires sleepless efforts to achieve

    K4=INDEX(Salaries!$F$5:$F$10,SUMPRODUCT(MATCH(B4&D 4,Salaries!$B$5:$B$10&Salaries!$D$5:$D$10,0))) and drag down
