Hi Guys

I have set up a dropdown box that allows me to select for 4 criteria-Construction, age, size,condition ( see Yellow coloured headings).

Under the heading-Construction there are four selections- Double Brick, Brick Veneer,Weatherboard,Fibrous Cement.

The selection that I have made from all of the lists is shown in Green:

[TABLE="width: 554"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Double brick[/TD]
[TD]1960-1999[/TD]
[TD]120-200m2[/TD]
[TD]Good[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
I want to lookup the added value from the schedule. The correct answer is $1000-$1299.

I assume that I need a Lookup Table/Index or something, but I have no real idea and will rely on you experts to help me out.

Please assume that I know nothing (which is probably the case) and explain it clearly or better still give me the formula that I can use.

Thankyou in anticipation

Hi
I have added the data to this spreadsheet and it works most of the time, but there are combinations that don't work.
Maybe it is a formatting issue or something like that?

The YELLOW part is on the table but doesn't calculate in the formula.

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
It is working for me again. Sorry. May be a formatting issue. Beware of using misleading or mistrailing spaces in the text.

Data validation is great for this. Check the sample below:
Sample1.xlsx

Thanks
Your Sample works well. so there is no problem with the formula.
The probem is with the data that I have added.
I have cheded spaces etc and can't find where the problem is.
It works with most search combinations, but some don't.
Not sure whethe I am allowed to attach a sample file as the table is very long?

You should upload to cloud (e.g OneDrive, DropBox) and share the link.

I have attached a sample file which is a cut down version of the original.
The first 5 columns (A to E) are the table where the data is being matched from.
This data has been taken from Columns F to L (the original data table that I created).
Shown in yellow on sheet 2 is one example that doesn’t work.
The Data validation list is also on Sheet 2.

I think I have resolved the problem.
I have recopied some of the data and made sure that it is correct in the table and in the Data Validation List.
This worked, so I will have to tediously copy the data across.
It looks like I need to copy as values and not just do a copy and paste.

Ahh yess ofcourse. It is always better to paste only values if you dont need the formula or formatting. Because the normal paste comes with the whole formatting including unwanted spaces, etc...

Nice to hear that you've solved the problem :) Have a nice day ;)

Just when I thought I had solved the problem -I hadn’t.
I have changed data around and checked typing etc and I still have problems with it.
Seems to be just a date problem.
The sample link that I posted is still representative of the problem.
