INDEX MATCH MATCH

INDEX MATCH MATCH

Say you want to pull a value from a table based on inputs cells. Both the row and column choices are dependent upon those inputs.

Example:

You have a list of food items in column A. Prices for those items are dependent on the month, January-December, and are listed in columns B-M. You want to be able to set up input cells were you could choose to lookup, say, the price of bananas in March. How can you do this?

INDEX MATCH MATCH

= INDEX ( entire matrix , MATCH ( vertical lookup value,  entire left hand lookup column , 0 ) , MATCH ( horizontal lookup value , entire top header row , 0 ) )
