I have two formulas that work. But I would like to combine them into one formula. I have tried and cannot get them nested together correctly.

=INDEX(C6:G10,XMATCH(K5,A6:A10),XMATCH(J5,C4:G4))

=INDEX(C6:G10,XMATCH(M5,A6:A10),XMATCH(L5,C4:G4))

I am using XMatch because if I use Match it will not work. I have 5 ratings, Very Low, Low, Moderate, High, Very High and if I try to match "Low" or "High" the formula will not work. I am guessing because there are other values with the same words in them and it is causing an error. If I select Very Low, Moderate, or Very High match will work.
 
As indicated above, one of the problems in trying to help you is that your data and layout changes with every post.
This is my best guess

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
We can make the matrix be generic. I removed the matrix name and we just have a plain matrix.
The yellow is the index of the Likelihood. A low and low is Low.
The orange is the index of the Impact. A Moderate and High is Moderate
What I need is to get the index of the Likelihood (Low) and Impact (Moderate).
