    Lookup a value from 2 similar groups of data and return the value using the correct group

    Hi, please refer to the attached excel.

    Is there anyway to return the value from the correct column "Bravo" if I key in the type of either "RCS302" or "RCS502" and a value from "Alpha" column

    Thanks for your help

    =index($a$3:$e$63,match(h4,index($a$3:$e$63,0,match(h3,$a$1:$e$1,0)),0),match(h3,$a$1:$e$1,0)+1)

    Re: Lookup a value from 2 similar groups of data and return the value using the correct gr

    Try ...

    =IFERROR(IF($H$3=$A$1,VLOOKUP($H$4,$A$3:$B$63,2,1),VLOOKUP($H$4,$D$3:$E$63,2,1)),"")

    assumes only your 2 tables and will find closest match if there is not an exact match.
