Lookup/Index/Match

[nymyth]

Hi team,

I was wondering if someone can help me with an interesting lookup issue I am having. I will receive a file that will be similar to Tab 2, out of which I need to build a view similar to Tab 1 below (I have manually filled in the numbers, to show what those cells should read). I tried using INDEX/MATCH but am having difficulties due to the way Tab 2 is delivered. Can someone please help? Thank you.


TAB 1

TAB 2

Hi.

First of all, you will probably find it easier if you standardise your data from one tab to the other.
For example, "Brand 1" in tab 1 compared with "Brand1" in tab 2.
See the difference ?

I'll assume you'll correct that.

Then, taking your starting layout for tab 2, and I'll assume that instead of a new tab for tab 1, we can actually build the table on tab 2, below your existing data.
So that the entry of "50" which appears in cell C3 of your Tab 1 in your OP, will actually appear in cell C10 of Tab 2.
Adapt the cell addresses to suit your particular situation.

In C10 . . .

=OFFSET($B$3,MATCH($B10,$B$4:$B$6,0),MATCH(C$9,$C$2:$M$2,0)+MATCH($C$8,$C$3:$E$3,0)-1,1,1)

And copy / paste as required.
