On a pricing sheet

Currently the formula in use is =VLOOKUP(N27,'POK-Standards-and-Options'!$C:$XW,48,0) (there is a column of these used to price our boats)

I am looking to develop something more dynamic. I want to use the Boat Model in cell O24 and the Part Number in Column N to look up values in a database where the Model is in Row 14 & Part Numbers are in Column C.

The DB starts in F16:EL2081 (planning on reducing the size of this DB once this formula is developed)
Header Row is F14 through EL14
parent numbers in Column C

What I have tried...
=INDEX('POK-Standards-and-Options'!$C:$EL,MATCH(N28,'POK-Standards-and-Options'!$C:$C,0),MATCH($O$24,'POK-Standards-and-Options'!$14:$14,0)) results in ZERO. It should result in $945.

=INDIRECT(MATCH(N29,'POK-Standards-and-Options'!$C:$C,0),MATCH($O$24,'POK-Standards-and-Options'!$14:$14,0)) results in #REF!. The match functions give the correct row & column, but I am not sure I have the syntax of the indirect function correct.


Thank you for your help. I inherited this mess. The DB works well but the original creator has left and now I am tasked with bringing this spreadsheet up to 2023 standards.
 

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
I can't visualise your data layout. Could you drop a small set of dummy data here please.

This is a copy of the "Order form". Sorry, not to use the tool for posting. Excel locked for 10 minutes after starting it, so I gave up.

The yellow cell is O24 (B2 below) used in the formulas above. Every tab is a different model and this cell changes with every tab. The cell this column will go to is in the Total Price column 4 lines down to the 945.00 (call it D4)

The formula in D4 (column N in the formulas above) uses B2 & A4 and looks to the DB (POK-Standards-and-Options-Excel MY2023 TEST.xlsm). B2 matches a boat model in row 1 from column F to EL (look to F1 for the model, BATX165 does not match the FRV165SC, wide spreadsheet) A4 matches a part number in column C currently VLOOKUP function.

Am I chasing this modified Index/Match/vlookup idea the wrong way? Is there a better way? My predecessor developed a monster of a pricing spreadsheet. Sorry to make this so dificult.

I need to reword/display this question better. I am closing this thread so I can work and present it an easier-to-understand format.
