HI all,
I have about fifty rows that I have to reference in a formalau. I have done the first 4:

=IF($AA$6="NAME 1",ROUNDUP(INDEX($A$5:$Y$56,1,4)*$F$3*(1+$I$62*AB$7)/($D$3*$E$3*$G$3*$H$3),0),IF($AA$6="NAME 2",ROUNDUP(INDEX($A$5:$Y$56,2,4)*$F$3*(1+$I$62*AB$7)/($D$3*$E$3*$G$3*$H$3),0),IF($AA$6="NAME 3",ROUNDUP(INDEX($A$5:$Y$56,3,4)*$F$3*(1+$I$62*AB$7)/($D$3*$E$3*$G$3*$H$3),0),IF($AA$6="NAME 4",ROUNDUP(INDEX($A$5:$Y$56,4,4)*$F$3*(1+$I$62*AB$7)/($D$3*$E$3*$G$3*$H$3),0)))))

SO if AA6 equals NAME 1, I pick up the right number via the "INDEX($A$5:$Y$56,1,4)" part of the formula. My formula works. BUt there are 50 Names I have to reference and each name will chane the row reference in the INDEX part of the formula by 1.

Is there a shorter way of doing this?
Thanks for any help in advance.
 

Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
I am not entirely sure of this as you seem to have a large index A to Y but only slect from column D



=ROUNDUP(INDEX($A$5:$Y$56,match($AA$6,$A$5:$A$56),4))*$F$3*(1+$I$62*AB$7)/($D$3*$E$3*$G$3*$H$3),0)

This may be better

=(ROUNDUP(VLOOKUP($AA$6,$A$5:$D$56,4,0)*$F$3*(1+$I$62*AB$7)/($D$3*$E$3*$G$3*$H$3),0))

Thanks so much for your time and prompt response. This worked a treat for what I wanted. I did not try the Vlookup version yet, but I think I prefer this one.

Appreciate your help.
