Hello Experts,

Needing your help please with lookup using multiple criteria's:


The above link has the workbook. I am trying to look up the values for each of the cells in B2:E4 for sheets "Cat B" and "Cat C" looking up values in "Sheet1" using the 3 criterias: category, week number & type. Please help with:
1) what's the best formula to look up those 3 criterias in the workbook? Can you help with the formula answer?
2) can you help with how to best combine "sheetname + substitute formula + match formula" into a cell address?

My workings below:


WorkingValueFormula
row number for Cat B >4=MATCH(A1,Sheet1!A:A,0)
Column letter for wk1 (weeknumber) >B=SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,MATCH(B1,Sheet1!1:1,0),4),"1","")
Adding 2 to the above (address) formula to get the end section. That is each week always have 3 columns containing hat, shirt & shoe >D=SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,(MATCH(B1,Sheet1!1:1,0)+2),4),"1","")
knowing above I could use Xlookup to return 457 >
but I want to include the formulas for the moving columns for the week numbers
457=XLOOKUP(A2,Sheet1!B2:D2,Sheet1!B4:D4,,0)
I tried the formula on the right but couldn't get the filename right using CONCAT. Not sure how to incoporate sheetname+substitute formula + match formula) as a cell address=XLOOKUP(A2,CONCAT("Sheet1!",SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,MATCH(B1,Sheet1!1:1,0),4),"1",""),2):CONCAT("Sheet1!",SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,(MATCH(B1,Sheet1!1:1,0)+2),4),"1",""),4),"1",""),2),CONCAT("Sheet1!",SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,MATCH(B1,Sheet1!1:1,0),4),"1",""),MATCH(A1,Sheet1!A:A,0)):CONCAT("Sheet1!",SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,(MATCH(B1,Sheet1!1:1,0)+2),4),"1",""),4),"1",""),MATCH(A1,Sheet1!A:A,0)),,0)

Thank You,

Joey

Here is a version you want to have it on separate sheets. Had to cheat a little, by putting Wk1 in the three columns( this can be "disguised" by using white text)

Thanks JvdV and Skybluekid. The answers doesn't seem to work. Please note below:
1) The lookup sheets (Cat B & cat C) has its own sheets (ie, cannot add to the reference "Sheet1")
2) the reference Sheet1 is a weekly extract so cannot make changes to it. Also, for example B1:D1 (wk1 section) is merged cells so cannot manually unmerge for each section.
Any further help would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Joey
