Hi,

I need some guidance from you excel guru's out there. I have attached am example file for you review.

In summary I need a formula (not VBA) in Column C to calculate team monthly burn rate from Column G, based on the combination of Delivery Team row from Column A and team size chosen in the same row in column B (which is a list lookup from Column O)

See the 'Formula Scenarios' for the specific requirements

12If user selects 'Medium' in cell B2 then cell C2 should lookup Column I where rows have 'Y' and SUM Monthly Burn Rate from Column G
13If user selects 'Large' in cell B2 then cell C2 should lookup Column J where rows have 'Y' and SUM Monthly Burn Rate from Column G

15If user selects 'Small' in cell B3 then cell C3 should lookup Column K where rows have 'Y' and SUM Monthly Burn Rate from Column G
16If user selects 'Medium' in cell B3 then cell C3 should lookup Column L where rows have 'Y' and SUM Monthly Burn Rate from Column G
17If user selects 'Large' in cell B3 then cell C3 should lookup Column M where rows have 'Y' and SUM Monthly Burn Rate from Column G

I am open to better ways to store the data from columns E to M but it would be good to keep this structure as it is easier to populate.

Hope someone can help.

The solution to this may be value to others.

Ok, i with you on what you are trying to do, but to what end?
Are you saying your data set will change, meaning that column A may contain more than just 2 varients and in turn H:J and K:M could also have additional triple colum sets after them.

cheers
