Hello,

How do I write a formula to look something up values on the same worksheet and then look up another section on the same worksheet and use that information below it? Please see below table.

How do I lookup information from company A that will give me the amount for Stationery in one cell and then look up information from Company B's stationery and the amount in another cell?

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Maybe
