Hello most gracious gurus,

I have tried for about 2+ hours to fix my N/A error. This is what I have done:

  • Changed all formats to general (except the item prices)
  • Trimmed all cells
  • Changed the text row/column headers to numbers
  • Tried variations of the formula e.g. ending the formula with +1, false, and many other variations
Some of my attempts have yielded a price but never the correct price. I included a sample table for reference.

Does anyone have an idea? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your time
Cassandra

PS- I am using Excel 2007


Below is a table of sample data. I didn't find where I could upload my xls.

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Hi Cassandra

I took an educated guess on your row and column numbers on this one. Try it out:
=INDEX(D8:G10,MATCH(C13,B8:B10,0),MATCH(C14,D3:G3,0))

D8:D10 is your price range
C13 is the model lookup value, B8:B10 is model lookup range
C14 is the Base Grup lookup value, D3:G3 is the List/Base lookup range
