    cross match in a worksheet depending on info in multiple dropdowns

    I have multiple dropdown lists. But I can't find the equation so it looks in the worksheets.

    In this case I need a formula so it looks in the worksheet which is selected in cell C4 and then does a cross match with the details mentioned in C8 and C10. (info also stated in attached file, real file contains much more details)

    Try this formula in C12.

    =INDEX(INDIRECT("'"&C4&"'!C3:IQ78"),MATCH(C8,INDIRECT("'"&C4&"'!B3:B78"),0),MATCH(INDEX(Data!$B$1:$B$68,MATCH(C6,Data!$A$1:$A$68,0)),INDIRECT("'"&C4&"'!C2:IQ2"),0))

    To test this I chose zaaizaden for the sheet name, Agave for the row lookup value and COMPOSITAE for the lookup value in Data which returns GB. Those point to cell O3 in zaaizaden sheet. I typed something into that cell and cell C12 in the Input sheet returned that value.

    The file is attached.

    Okay this is a step in the right direction. But the result zzzz should be given on "C4 zaaizaden C6 AGAVACEAE en C8 Agave". But C6 doesn't have to be included in the formula as it is only created so the list in C8 doesn't get to long. I tried editing your formula to

    =INDEX('"&C4&"'!C3:IQ78,MATCH(C8,INDIRECT("'"&C4&"'!B3:B78"),0),MATCH(C10,INDIRECT("'"&C4&"'!C2:IQ2"),0))

    But I keep getting a REF#

    The C6 is included in my formula in order to determine GR. I didn't notice the drop down in C10 and overlooked that in the instructions. Apologies. My bad.

    Try this formula instead.

    =INDEX(INDIRECT("'"&C4&"'!C3:IQ78"),MATCH(C8,INDIRECT("'"&C4&"'!B3:B78"),0),MATCH(C10,INDIRECT("'"&C4&"'!C2:IQ2"),0))
