Happy Sunday folks!

I can't get my head around how to write this formula, so any help would be greatly appreciated. So, this is the data I'm working with -

Data set 1)

Formula for first cell of the data -

------------------------

Formula for first cell of the data -

=IFERROR(INDEX(FICO!B:B,MATCH(Key!$AB2,FICO!$A:$A,)), "-")

These two data sets are side by side on one worksheet, it was just easier to show the distinction between the two. These are pulled through from two seperate worksheets with a unique key I created - an example is 00101911 - this is made up of Product/Coverage & Convention Line from data set 1, and Coverage & Statutory Line from data set 2.

My issue is that within data set 2, the general ledger amount relates to the XWH name (from data set two) which relates to the values in data set 1 from allocated expense, onwards. So this changes from line to line. I built the XWH formula in data set 2 so that it pulls the names from data set 2 but i need it to then match the other data set - on the same line as data set 1. I dont know whether this will involve building a second key or?

I then need add to data set 2 the column names from data set 1, so then the relevant data populated under the relevant heading. If that makes sense. So for example, if the first line of the general ledger amt in data set 2 relates to gross paid loss of data set 1. I then need it to populate under the newly created column.

Sorry I know this is v confusing and I'm not sure if there's actually a way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
