vlookup multiple values excel

Question

I'm trying to do a lookup in excel with multiple values. I have two tables: one with the account name (column A) and state (column B) and second with the account name (column D) and state (column E). The goal is to fill out column B with the state from column E. How can I do this with a look up formula in excel?

I tried using this formula: =IFERROR(INDEX($E$2:$E$10, SMALL(IF(A2=$D$2:$D$10, ROW($D$2:$D$10)-2,""), ROW()-2)),"")

AA          AA  CA
AA          AA  NY
AA          AA  MD
BB          BB  FL
BB          BB  NY
BB          CC  AZ
DD          CC  CO
DD          DD  CO
            DD  WA

Answer 1

This will give you the first match =INDEX($D$1:$E$9,MATCH(A1,$D$1:$D$9,0),2). In this case you should make a new column and concatenate (=concatenate(D1," - ",F1)) two columns that will create a unique string which can be searched on. For example, address, phone number etc.
