Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
D3:G12 is 9 rows by 4 columns.

My guess is that MATCH($I3,$B$3:$B$12,0) is returning a value greater than 4.

Hi!

The correct formula is:

=INDEX($D$3:$G$12,MATCH($I3,$B$3:$B$12,0),MATCH(J$2,$D$2:$G$2,0))

You reversed the parameters - it should be INDEX(range,row_num,column_num), not INDEX(range,column_num, row_num)

Try
=INDEX($D$3:$G$12,MATCH($I3,$B$3:$B$12,0),MATCH(J$2,$D$2:$G$2,0))
