Help Index Match Formula

[Orbit]

I posted this before, but this time I have more details to help show what I am looking for.

I have and excel workbook that pulls financial data (GL Type) from another workbook. I currently use a vlookup to pull the data into my other work book.


My problem: Every time I add a new market (I add them alphabetically) to the original book, it throws all the references (after the inserted market) off in my book that I am pulling into. So every time I do this I have to spend time going through and updating tons of cell references.


What I am looking to do is make my second workbook "smarter". If I can find a way to reference the market name and then pull all the columns across associated with that market name instead of going and updating cell references every time I add a new market, it would save me tons of time.

I think an index match may work, but I have not used index match very much.

any help or advice on this is much appreciated.

Work Book Examples:

Book1 (what I am pulling from)
	North AZ	South AZ	East TX	West TX
Revenue
Expense 1
Expense 2
Expense 3
Expense 4
Expense 5
Expense 6
Expense 7
Income
	Pulling into Book2.
Book2	(Tabs for every market)
	Jan	Feb	Mar
Revenue
Expense 1
Expense 2
Expense 3
Expense 4
Expense 5
Expense 6
Expense 7
Income

Hello Orbit, and welcome the the board,

You may have gotten an answer on the other post, but it is hard to tell from what you have provided. Can you post some sample data and the formula you are using and what is changing when you inset the data? It sound like a straight forward solution with several different approaches, but I need to see what the expected results are and the formula you are currently using.
