Hi All,

Need some formula help please:

1) I have 12 "cubes"/ranges of data (1 for each month) on a single sheet
2) Each "cube" of data is a named range, eg. "Jan_Act", "Feb_Act", "Mar_Act" etc...
3) First row of each range contains headings which are unique names (about 200 columns)
4) First column of each range contains headings which are account categories (about 300 rows)

I am trying to do a sort of Index Match formula on a separate sheet ("Lookup") which looks for the row & column combination that is specified in cell A1 ("unique name") and cell B1 ("account category") and cell C1 ("month")

Example:
Lookup Sheet
A1 = Name20
B1 = Fuel Costs
C1 = Feb_Act

Need a formula to return the number that meets those criteria, i.e. look in cube called "Feb_Act", find "Name20" in first row of range and find "Fuel Costs" in first column of range

Hope this makes sense, and thank you!
 

Excel Facts

Easy bullets in Excel
If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
Sort by date Sort by votes
you sort of changed your terms through the post

so we are doing a GRID lookup based on the A1 (heading in column A rows) and B1 (Heading in Row 1 various columns
=INDEX(DataRange, MATCH(TheRows,ROW_List,0), MATCH(TheColumns,Columnlist,0))
=INDEX(Range to return value from, MATCH(A1, A2:A10000, 0), MATCH(B1, column range B1:Z1, 0))

And C1 is the Sheet to lookup
so INDIRECT(C1) to get the sheet name

As we dont have a sampole sheet loaded as XL2BB - see signature / menu or on a share - is the above correct, before i work out the rest

Hi - thanks for your response, here's a snapshot example, I've put everything on one page to illustrate: so I need a formula that will give the the "answer" to the criteria...

here we go

=INDEX(INDIRECT("'"&A2&"'!$B$2:$E$13"),MATCH(A4,INDIRECT("'"&A2&"'!$A$2:$A$13"),0),MATCH($A3,INDIRECT("'"&A2&"'!$B$1:$E$1"),0))

NOTE the range WILL NOT copy as its hardcody in "" as part of the INDIRECT Function

With your current setup, how about
Excel Formula: 
=LET(Tbl,INDIRECT(H3),INDEX(Tbl,MATCH(H5,INDEX(Tbl,,1),0),MATCH(H4,INDEX(Tbl,1,),0)))

Thanks, the difficulty I have is that the 12 grids of data are all on ONE Sheet, so 12 cubes of data on one sheet, so I need one formula that can go to the right grid and pull the info... sorry if I'm not being too clear.
