Hi,

I have a summary table which summarises data from a given month. This is updated month on month as cost data is actualised.

On the left handside I want to include a formula which searches for the current and most recent "previous" period from the top row i.e. looking in the table to the right and finding the further occurence of "previous" on the right handside.

Can anyone help? Thanks

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Couple of XLOOKUPS seem to do the trick:
