How would I insert a VLOOKUP in the beginning of the formula, Forum 1.JPG, referencing the same cell in the second picture, forum 2.JPG?
I want to replace the 0.44 in my formula with the VLOOKUP to cell D3 in my second picture in a way that would allow me to copy it across my sheet so that each cell pulls from its same name cell in the other sheet. The formula I tried was =VLOOKUP(D3,'Sheet4'!C3:AH34,4,FALSE) followed by the rest of my formula, and I got a pop up saying:
"There are one or more circular references where a formula refers to its own cell either directly or indirectly. This might cause them to calculate incorrectly.
Try removing or changing these references, or moving the formula to different cells."

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Sounds like you want to use an INDEX MATCH instead of a VLOOKUP.

Try this, replacing references as needed:

=INDEX(Sheet2!$A$1:$E$5,MATCH($A3,Sheet2!$A:$A),MATCH(D$1,Sheet2!$1:$1))

Then add your math [(-1(C4 etc] as needed to the end.
