Using OFFSET and MATCH to return the correct value

[Brendan89]

I have a problem with using the MATCH formula to return the correct 'ranking' from my named array.

I have the following:

Cell Q3 - with options VL,L,M,H,VH
Cell R3 - with options VL,L,MLH,VH

Cell T3 should return an overall rating depending on what the user has selected from Cell Q3 and R3.

I have a named range (Matrix1) which shows the what values should be returned (this may or may not have copied correctly into this post.

I tried the following formula as somewhat of a stab in the dark but returned with a #N/A error:

=OFFSET(Matrix1,MATCH(Q3,Matrix1,0),MATCH(R3,Matrix1,0))

Can anyone help with what I should be using to do what I need this to do here?

Use INDEX instead of OFFSET.

Used INDEX as you said but don't think I have the formula correct, still returning a #NA error.

 

[njimack]

You can't use the same range for all 3 arguments, so I've guessed which ranges you've used for columns and rows.
=INDEX(Matrix1, MATCH(Q3,A2:A6,0),MATCH(R3,B1:G1,0))

Thanks, slowly getting there! I changed the reference as you suggested and it returns a value from the table but not the correct ones. It's actually referencing A2:A6 and B1:G1 rather than returning the combined rating from selecting both within the table itself?

Q3 Is Probability
R3 is Impact

The cell with this formula in it should return the combined rating according to the table.

 

[njimack]

What does the range "Matrix1" refer to? This should refer just to the data you are querying, so in this case, B2:G6.

That's where I was going wrong, got it all sorted and working now with the correct range selected, cheers!
