I'm pulling my hair out trying to make this work and would appreciate any assistance that anyone can give.

Hopefully if I've done it right this link should take you to my spreadsheet.

There are 'tables' for each 'Therapy' which contains a list of 'Actions' and the 'Therapists' with their charge rates. Currently there are only two tables, 'Physiotherapy' and 'Case Management' but there will be more once I can get it working.

What I need to achieve is that in the 'Physiotherapy' sheet, a number of cells are selected based on drop-downs, A1 (Therapy), B1 (Therapist) and A3 (Activity), these are all working fine. I now need the 'Rate' field to be completed from the relevant table once the other 3 fields have been entered so that the rate for the relevant therapist for the selected Activity is then shown in D3.

I can make this work using just one table (currently the Physiotherapy one) by stipulating it's name with an 'index' and 'match' formula (currently in cell D3) however I can't work out how to make it lookup multiple tables.

Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance.

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
I'm thinking by the lack of any suggestions this might not be possible. As an alternative does anyone know if I can duplicate/merge data from multiple tables into another (new) table so I can keep my original data in their respective tables but also have somewhere I can do a vlookup?

Thanks in advance.
