Question:

If user enters the number "1" in a cell and enters "Anderson" in another cell, I want to return 1074 based on the above chart, but if user enters "Camp" in a cell and "2" in another cell, I want the cell to return 1313 and so on...

User enters:
Enter County
Anderson
Enter Number
1
Cell Returns:
1074

Thank you so much; however, I've tried using vlookup as you have indicated with no luck.

In that case try
=VLOOKUP(B6,A2:D5,B7+1,FALSE)
