An IF function conundrum

On my subscriber spread sheet I want to put an expiry issue next to their name in their contact details sheet. So I have three sheets I need to link data to. Here's an example of each:

Standard Subscriptions:
A B
Person 1
Issue 11 - August 2012
Person 2
Issue 12 - Febuary 2013

<colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>












This

Data sheet:

G
Issue 01 - February 2010
Issue 02 - May 2010
Issue 03 - August 2010
Issue 04 - November 2010
Issue 05 - February 2011
Issue 06 - May 2011
Issue 07 - August 2011
Issue 08 - November 2011
Issue 09 - February 2012
Issue 10 - May 2012
Issue 11 - August 2012

<colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>



















and so on

I use this to create a drop down list for column B in standard subscriptions.

Now I have another sheet which holds all their details called contact:

Name Company Address Email Expiring Issue
Person 1
Success company 1
Flashy Address,
Email@person1company.com
Help Here
Person 2
Successful company 2
Another flashy address
Email@person2company.com
And here

<colgroup><col><col><col><col span="2"></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>








What I would like to do is create an equation that will automatically place the expiring issue into that column. The expiring issue is always 4 cells below from the data sheet. So if they subscribed on issue 1, the last issue will be issue 4. Something that's proving a little bit of bother is that some details appear more than once in the subscription sheet as when they renew they are placed on the sheet again so it would have to be connected to their most recent subscription.

I've tried playing around with IF and vlookup formulas but I can't seem to get it right. Is this even possible?

Thanks!
