Basically if the text is found in the table it would list the corresponding price. Been messing around with a lot of lookup, search, countif combination of formula's. But can't seem to figure out a way to get the price :(.

There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
