Easiest way for 300+ outcomes from two conditions

[Jbone697]

I have two drop-down list boxes with multiple options to choose from in each box. Doing the math, there will end up being 300+ outcomes in the destination cell. I thought about doing IF AND statements and I'm pretty sure excel won't allow for that to happen. I have tables with all of the possible outcomes, and I'm wondering if there's a way I can make this happen.


To elaborate, this is for work. We have multiple (14) shifts, with multiple (22) starting lunch times. I want to select a shift and a start lunch time so in the destination cell, it displays the appropriate starting shift time.

	A​	B​	C​	D​
1​	ShiftCol​	LunchCol​	StartCol​	​
2​
3​
4​	Day	11:00​	7:00​
5​	Day	12:00​	8:00​
6​
7​
8​	ThisShift​	ThisLunch​	ThisStart​
9​	Day	12:00​	8:00​	C9: {=INDEX(StartCol, MATCH(1, (ShiftCol=ThisShift) * (LunchCol=ThisLunch), 0))}

Thank you for your help! Unfortunately, it gives me a #Value! error in C9 for me and I can't figure out why.

The formula MUST be confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter instead of just Enter. That's what makes the curly braces appear.

Awesome, thanks again! I think I can work with this.

You're welcome.

If yiou change the formula to this ...

=INDEX(StartCol, MATCH(1, INDEX((ShiftCol=ThisShift) * (LunchCol=ThisLunch), 0), 0))

... it can be confirmed with just Enter.
