Hi Guys

I have a sheet with data as shown in columns A:"H below. I also currently have a function as shown = index($d8:h11,match(b3,$b8:4B11,0)match($b2,D7:h7,0).
I now want to add in other Type Options B through D. How can I change the array $d8:$h11 so that it is based on whatever is selected in cell b4?

Many thanks

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
Could you merge rows 6 and 7 together (will have to use the offset function) and base the index match off the merged rows?

For formula to go in cells C7 onwards is =OFFSET(D5,,-D6+1)&D6.
Formula to go in cell B4 is =INDEX($D$8:$W$11,MATCH($B$1,$B$8:$B$11,0),MATCH($B$3&$B$2,D7:W7,0)).

Hope this helps.
